Golf Course Update: Native Area Restoration Between Holes 1 and 9

Ben McBride, Golf Course Superintendent • February 12, 2026

The golf course is restoring native areas between Holes 1 and 9 to create a cleaner course edge while reducing irrigation, mowing, and long-term maintenance. 

As part of our ongoing commitment to thoughtful course stewardship, work is underway in the native areas between Holes 1 and 9 on the golf course.


This project includes the removal of all non-native plants and grasses, along with the elimination of unnecessary irrigation in these areas. Once cleared, the ground will be prepared as a seed bed and replanted with California native grasses and wildflowers selected for their durability and natural beauty.


The result will be a clearly defined transition between the manicured playing surfaces and the surrounding landscape. Once established, these native areas will require no regular mowing, ongoing irrigation, or fertilizer, supporting both environmental sustainability and long-term course efficiency.


This restoration enhances the visual character of the course while reinforcing responsible land management practices that benefit golfers, the property, and the surrounding environment.
