M
onarch Beach began its
annual overseeding
process last month,
which will ensure top-notch
playing conditions all year long.
Because of the newly seeded
grass and heavy watering it requires, the course will be played
cart-path only until the winter
season rye grass has had time to
grow in.
The maintenance crew is also
making significant strides to improve drainage, along with resodding areas that have struggled
to maintain a consistent yearround playing surface.
Monarch Beach is one of the
few Southern California golf
courses that continue to overseed
on a yearly basis.
The process sets Monarch
Beach apart by providing a more
healthy, greener, and playable
golf course throughout the year.
T
Work on the 18th hole has
led to better turf conditions.
he 16th and 18th holes
at Monarch Beach – as
well as a handful of others –
have been receiving extra
care the past few weeks by
the grounds crew in order to
make them healthier heading into winter.
Included in the process
was the removal and excavation of all the turf, soil
and drainage at least six
inches into the ground. Additional drainage was
added to the holes that
connect to the current
drainage system.
All told, the improvements will reduce more
than 80 percent of the salinity in the soil, allow water to
drain properly, and the turf
to flourish year-round even
with heavy golf car traffic.
