October - November 2007
New Golf Course Complete!!!

A strong October allowed us to clean up all our loose ends with the golf, we are now preparing the greens for winter on the new course with tarps and snow fences. We have also covered the surrounds with local cattle manure from a neighbor, this was a trick we used 20 years ago on the sand dunes areas and it proved to work quite well in establishing turf. Overall Rod Whitman is very pleased with the layout and how it finished off. He considers these new greens some of his best work he has done since the Original 18 at Wolf Creek. We still have some seeding to complete in the spring in some areas but our superintendent Rick David is still confident we may be doing some golf late summer 2008.

Phase 3 in Villages fully under way!!

After the completion of the golf course we turned our attention to constructing the roadways in Phase 3. We are now in the final stages of road construction with sub-grade completion to happen by Nov. 1st. With the completion of Phase 3 the overall villages project will be constructed in a two year window instead of a 3 to 5. Originally our projections included only phase 1 and 2 based on pre-sales, however with the early sellout of both phases it was decided phase 3 could proceed. November should also see the completion of most of the utilities to the lots, presently sewer and water will be under way the first part of the month followed by Fortis and the power installation, including street lites. Weather permitting the roadways will get final shaping and gravel before winter settles in.
