Pali golf course greens restoration project complete

Advertiser Staff

The city announced Wednesday that the Pali Municipal Golf Course's back-nine greens have been reopened following a turf restoration project.

The city replaced the TifDwarf Bermuda on the greens with Seashore Paspalum.

Work on the front-nine greens was completed in September 2008.

The greens are still considered new and need time to fully mature.

Until then, the city is asking golfers to:

— Repair ball marks and divots.

— Park carts 30 yards from greens.

— Keep carts away from wet and repaired areas throughout the course and use the 90-degree rule whenever possible.

The rest of the course, including tees and fairways, will be converted to Seashore Paspalum in the future.
