It appears that spring may be arriving this weekend! The golf course is very wet but we are hopeful that upcoming temperatures pushing 70 degrees will promote some serious drying. I know Duininck is hopeful to get on the course next week and start moving forward. Their first priority will be to finish up drain pipe installation that was not completed last December. At the same time I believe irrigation main line installs will begin. These 6", 8" and 10" PVC pipes are trenched in with an excavator in the rough and generally follow alongside or in between golf holes.
If you haven't noticed, the new clubhouse is much more visible from Highways 36 and 61 than the previous structure. It really has a defined presence up on the hill. Here is a fun fact: the new structure utilizes 450 roof trusses. That makes for a lot of roof!
Below are a few photos I took this morning during my first tour of the building. First time through is a bit confusing, especially without a floor plan in hand. I did not post any photos from the lower level as it is all concrete and very nondescript at this point in time.

Oh wow, that is, indeed, a lot of roof trusses up there! It's exciting to see that your project is slowly becoming and that things are folding out nicely. A good foundation is important to ensure that it can carry the weight when the roof is already attached, and that it can withstand any weather.
