Project Update: The site grading at the Mapleton Golf Club commenced at the end of October. We've been enjoying a very mild start to the winter here in the upper midwest. Rarely are we able to have grading projects extend into December. There's a couple inches of frost in the ground in some areas, not enough to stop grading, especially when we had temps in the 50s-60s this past week.
The Mapleton Golf Club Facebook page has been adding individual hole descriptions and mock-ups.
https://www.facebook.com/mapletongc/The mild temps have allowed the rough grading for a new par 3 course (Lil-Wispy @ The Ridge in Sioux Center, IA) to be completed this fall. I was on site yesterday and they were half-way through spreading the final topsoil stockpile and planned to complete the rough grading in the next day or two. If you're interested, a schematic of Lil-Wispy layout (that our firm prepared) can be seen at the following link.
