C ourse maintenance can make or break a golf course. Top-notch turf conditions and beautiful land- scaping may seem effortless, but there's so much that goes on behind the scenes in order for a course to stay in great shape during the summer months. The Celebrity and Players courses at Indian Wells Golf Resort are two examples of immaculately groomed lay- outs, and plans are already in place for the entire year to en- sure that the courses stay in peak condition. Both courses at Indian Wells will be closed for a short pe- riod this summer to allow for thorough maintenance. Here's the schedule: >> the Players Course will close June 22–July 9, and again august 3–21. >> the Celebrity Course will close July 13–30, and again august 24–September 10. Aerating the courses will ac- count for a big part of the job. "Aeration allows us to re- lieve the compaction that's built up over the months from heavy foot and vehicle traffic," said Director of Agronomy Rick Menard. "It also facili- tates better water coverage, as water can penetrate the ground better after aeration." Aeration is a preventative measure that ensures the grass doesn't die, and instead stays in optimal conditions for fu- ture play. "Our goal with all of our maintenance is to have fantastic, long-term conditions for our players," said Menard.
