Here
at Indian Springs we are in the best condition ever as
a result of the many projects we have taken on over the
last few years. Ten tee complexes have been rebuilt, and
we have converted bent grass fairways to Quickstand Bermuda
grass. We have also undergone an extensive fairway drainage
project. The construction of a 5,000 square foot U.S.G.A.
practice putting green is now complete and in use. Other
projects include our continuation of landscaping and beautification
plans.
At
Indian Springs we are diligent in being pro-environmental.
With our conversion to bermuda grass fairways, we have
been able to eliminate 95% of our chemical applications
as well as reduce our water needs by 70%. Plus, with this
conversion, carts are allowed to travel on our fairways
without doing damage. With the drainage system we ave
installed, golfers can take carts off the pathways the
day after a 1/2 inch rain fall. We have also stocked our
lakes and ponds with grass carp and Japanese Koi. This
stocking of our waters has also eliminated the need for
harmful chemicals. Wildlife is seen by our golfers every
day and includes deer, mink, wildcats, raccoons, squirrels,
redwing hawks, a variety of waterfowl and many other native
species.
