Total play length from each are: Forward Tees - 5, 365 yards; Middle Tees (Ladies) - 6,025 yards; Regular Tees (Mens) - 6,505 yards; Championship Tees - 6,935 yards. The creation of course features will recpire that approximately 450,000 cubic yards of soil be moved in the rough grading process. The soil used as fill will be cut from the driving range, multiple swales throughout the course and water features. placed in such a manner as to provide beauty without causing significant play problems for the average player. Water features will also be used to provide storage for irrigation water. Sand bunkering will be kept to a minimum and will be used primarily to provide definition, perspective and strategic play features. Such bunkers will total approximately 40. Grass swales and bunkers will be abundant as they are multi-purpose; They provide hazards that do not slow play, are much easier to play from than sand bunkers and provide areas to which green and tee drainfields can be directed. Grassing will be varied. Tees will be a combination of bent grass and bermuda. Greens will be a hybrid bent. Fairways will be a bermuda-bent blend. Primary roughs will be planted in cool weather varieties such as blue grass, rye and fescues. Grasses in the secondary rough areas will be drought-tolerant fescues. Tees will be of a size to accommodate up to 90, 000 rounds per year. Total tee surface will be approximately 140, 000 square feet. Tees will be formed with native soil and topped with six inches of seed-bed mix identical to that of the greens. Green surfaces will average approximately 7,000 square feet and will be contoured so as to allow for multiple of pin settings. Green seeds will be maintained in the 7.5 to 8.5 range and grasses immediately adjacent to putting surfaces will be mowed to an easily playable height. Green construction will be that that is commonly referred to as "modified U.S.G.A. specifications". That is, the green cross-section will be as recommended by the U.S.G.A. with the exception of the "chocker sand layer". The percentages of sand and organic matter contained in the seed-bed mix will be determined when the sand-source is identified.
