Department: GOLF COURSE Date Prepared: May 15, 2024
Submitted By: GLENDA HARTSELL Date Completed:
Project Title: GOLF COURSE UPGRADES
Project Type: PARKS/ RECREATION Sub - Type: TSGC IMPROVEMENTS

Project Code: GC2501 Priority: A
COUNCIL AUTHORIZATION:

RELATIONSHIP TO OTHER PROJECTS AND/ OR MASTER PLAN:

PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
Resurface the existing ' MiniVerde' Ultradwarf Bermuda greens at Texas Star Golf Course by removing the thatch
layer near the surface, replacing with a suitable rootzone mix and re -sprigging the greens with TifEagle
Bermudagrass. Collars will be re -sodded with 419 Bermudagrass. After removal, the existing sand will be used
for agronomic practices around the course and practice areas. Additional improvement projects, such as leveling
and expansion of various Tee boxes, capping sand in bunkers, cart path and parking improvements, and other
small miscellaneous enhancements are included in the project scope.

PROJECT SCHEDULE:
May 15 - Sept 15, 2025 is the appropriate time to schedule the replacement and reconstruction of the greens.
The optimum growing period for TifEagle Bermuda is June through September. The other projects will be
scheduled simultaneously during the growing in period.

JUSTIFICATION:
Texas Star is a championship daily fee golf facility known for its high level of service and excellent course
conditions. At this point in the life of the greens, it has become increasingly more difficult to maintain the existing
MiniVerde' Ultradwarf Bermuda greens in an acceptable condition year round. TifEagle Bermudagrass is more
genetically stable, as well as having a more robust tolerance to cold weather and shade as opposed to other
Ultradwarf Bermudagrasses. Additionally, improvements on the Tee Boxes, bunkers, cart paths and other small
projects would result in not only an aesthetically pleasing look, but optimal playing conditions as well adding to
the total Texas Star experience.
