CART RESTRICTIONS- Cart
usage around greens has become very problematic the past several weeks. The turf quality around greens, especially
sodded areas, has deteriorated. In an
effort to improve the playability of these areas, we have installed stakes and cart signs to direct
cart traffic. We have installed these
stakes to be as unobtrusive as possible (see below).
Additionally, holes #6 and #13 will go to CART PATH
ONLY.
Cart traffic around greens has increased and carts have gotten closer
and closer to the greens
New look to improve cart traffic
FESCUE AREAS- Please
respect the new fescue areas on holes #4, 8, 13, 14, and 15. These areas are designated ENVIRONMENTALLY
SENSITIVE AREAS. Cart traffic is
strictly prohibited in these areas. When
carts drive through these areas, the effects are evident for the ENTIRE golf
season. The fescue will not bounce back
up as it continues to grow; it will remain matted down in every cart tire
track. We have worked
hard to develop these areas to enhance Kemper Lakes. I am requesting
that members educate each other about the importance of staying out of these
areas.
Once the fescue is matted down it will not grow upright at this point
in the season.
