Hill Top 2-11-23

Here is what I saw at Hill Top on Saturday 2-11-23.





Golf cart parking by starter shack.  All of the green are weeds.

Hole 1

Missing grass.

Tee box with lots of weeds.


All of the sand traps have grass runners.



DTE has damaged the trap edge with their grooming machine.



View from the first green of the landscaping screening the golf maintenance facility.  DTE by contract is to maintain all of the landscape around the maintenance facilities.


Hundreds of mis-cut cups that have not healed on Hill Tops 9 holes


Hole 2

The tee box is full of weeds.


A trip hazard is located at the cart path by the 2nd tee box.  Some dirt and sod would fix the issue.


Lots of weeds in the green.




I am not sure what is causing the green blotches on this and many other greens.  You can also see many old cup plugs that have not healed.


Grass runners


Damaged trap edges.


Hole 3

Lots of edging is needed on the course.

Lots of weeds in the tee box.  Also very rough looking.


Lots of landscape beds like this one are in need of winter cut back and clean up.



Grass runners



Weeds in the green.  This one weed is about one inch above the green surface.  So either the greens were not mowed in violation of the contract or they did a super poor job of mowing.






I pulled this off of a weed in the green.  You can see that it has gone to seed....right in the middle of the green.


Landscape in need of attention.

Hole 4

Edging issues


Tee box sign with grass in need of a trimming.



Tee box area with lots of debris in the landscaping.



I was helping another golfer look for his ball and found a 5 inch diameter tree limb about 6 foot long laying in the fern.



Green repairs trying to heal.


Rough patch of green, poor cup plug and weeds.




Hole 5



Hole 6

This hole by this tree should have been filled in weeks ago.

Edging issues


Tee box full of weeds.


Weeds in the green and a cup trying to heal





I am guessing that the sprinkler head has issues that need repair.  Grass runners


Damaged trap edges.


Hole 7
Edging issues


Weeds

Weeds in tee box and box in rough shape.


Dollar weeds by tee box

Needs grass by tee box


More green blotches, weeds and cups trying to heal




Hole 8
A large area of dollar weeds near the tee box.  Also damaged turf caused by DTE.

Dollar weeds everywhere.


Cart path edging issues







A happy weed next to the cart path.  Getting ready to bloom.

Dollar weeds everywhere.

Hole 9
A large dirt patch behind the tee box where nobody walks.  Why can't grass be grown in a low traffic area?

Another area by the tee box that needs grass.

This is a real happy weed next to the cart path that is blooming for us.









That is it from Hill Top.
