Did some mowing this evening on Sunset. Pretty cool looking pic of #2 with the mountain in the background. Was trying to get the sun in the shot! 😎

Wrapping up the fence project today! Hole #8 looks so different.

05/01/2020

Here is an update and what we know so far regarding the status to reopen the golf course. We will continue to be closed until further notice. Fort Bliss leadership and the DFMWR team will re-evaluate in mid-May. Until then, we will continue to work hard on improving the conditions of both golf courses so when we do reopen you will notice significant improvements. I will continue to post pictures and updates as I receive them from our leadership at Fort Bliss. I would like to thank all of you for your patience and understanding and we look forward to seeing the Fort Bliss and El Paso community back at Underwood in the near future.

Sunset #1. Did some mowing height cuts on the Tee boxes and fairways today.

04/30/2020

I know a lot of our patrons have been waiting for this project. We are finally taking down the fence on Sunset hole number 8, old number 17. Golf carts will be prohibited from entering this area. Carts will be set up to shut off - so DO NOT ENTER!!! We will be adding a lake liner along with fountains and filling this up as a new lake in the foreseeable future. I am not sure when, but this our long term plan.

A photo of Sunrise hole #3. All the green surrounds have been mowed down. If you zoom in on the bunkers behind the green, I love the defining of the bunkers. Can wait for it all to turn green. Hopefully in a weeks time!

04/24/2020

Sunset hole 11 tee box. Used to be number 2. This was the best height we liked for tees and green surrounds for this course. Looks better in person.

04/24/2020

Sunset hole 15 green surround. Old number 6.

04/24/2020

Sunset hole 15. Use to be hole 6. Reminder folks we switch the two nine’s.

04/24/2020

Today we did some different mowing heights for tees and green surrounds on Sunset. This is a photo of the new hole 18 green surround. (Old hole 9)

04/24/2020

The putting green healed nicely.

04/23/2020

A look at what we’ve been dealing with at the bottom on the wet well on Sunrise. All running thur the irrigation system. What a headache! Guess we should all have a clam bake and a few adult beverages after this project gets fixed!!!!

04/20/2020

This year we are making a change to the Sunrise green surrounds. The Sunrise Course was built as a links golf course - like you see on TV. So, today we started designing the green surrounds for links golf. Golfers will be able to putt, bump and run or chip to their liking. We will see how it goes for a couple of months. Please let us know your thoughts once you’ve played it.

04/20/2020

Two of the three hills cleared of debris. Will start pulling roots out tomorrow. Turn sprinklers on and was amazed where the water was hitting! Some parts probably haven’t seen water in years.

04/18/2020

Some pictures of work being done to Sunrise. Greens and tee boxes healed nicely from the aeration. Fairways are a little behind from Sunset mainly due to the heavy spraying we did this year. As soon as the pump house project finishes and are able to fertilize it will green up nicely. We hope to have the project and fertilizer down before we reopen. Lastly, started removing all the bushes from hole #1 tee box. Three sprinkler heads sitting in there watering nothing but bushes. Got to go!!!!!

04/17/2020

Did range work today. Fertilized range top a week ago and put our first cut on it today. Turned out nice. Added flags and mowed entire range this morning. Entire staff will be on Sunrise tomorrow. Photos coming!!! Also, spent 3 hours getting rid of unwanted range balls. Very time consuming. Once we reopen please pass the word for folks not to hit their own golf balls onto the range. Just range balls please!!!

04/15/2020

Fairways on Sunset are filling in and greening up nicely. Yes this is a current picture from today! Looks better in person. Letting fairways grow right now on both courses. No cutting. Getting ready to aerate and apply fertilizer next week. Good news to report on the Sunrise well project. Today, IMCOM G9 approved the work to begin immediately. Contracting will be issuing a contract and work can finally begin hopefully starting next week. I’m pushing for it all to be completed by early to mid May. Will see!

So we’ve had a lot of questions regarding our lake levels on the Sunrise course. As many of you know we had an clam issue in our irrigation system which started in the Spring of 2019. We are in the process of fixing the issue now. Some of you are probably asking why now, but it is a process in which we must follow in our line of business. Our project includes pulling three large motors out of our pump house and cleaning the bottom of the wet well, which is full of clams. See photo. We will then flush our irrigation system to remove the clams in our irrigation heads. We will most likely remove ever irrigation head that is leaking at the time of the flushing. That will be fun!!! We will finally install a shut off valve at the pump house so for any future issues we will not have to drain any of our lakes. No worries, Sunrise is still getting watered as we have a transfer system to move water back and forth between the two courses. I know this has been a headache to many including my staff and trust me I know but we are continuing to to work hard to resolve the issue.
