Preventive Maintenance:
Kortman pushed the start of yearly preventive maintenance back one week to the week of July 26th. This will require impacted parking canopies to be shut down during the maintenance. The duration of work at each site will be approximately one day.
Bowling:
The bowling department is currently working with all the fall league officers to coordinate start dates and league strength for the upcoming season.
Due to COVID-19 restrictions, the fall 2019 / 2020 bowling season ended prior to the scheduled end date and the fall 2020 / 2021 season began four months later than normal. Not all leagues returned, and guest bowlers were not allowed to return at that time due to COVID-19 restrictions. The upcoming fall season looks promising as it seems that most bowlers will be returning. The bowling staff and league officers are currently contacting bowlers to confirm their return for the fall season.
Golf & Grounds:
Pro Shops

Golf Courses
Beginning June 21 greens aerification that directly affects play, began on the South Course and will continued through June 28 at Willowbrook. Greens aerification on Lakes West is taking place during the bunker renovation and will not impact play directly. Greens aerification represents our last major agronomic practice for the summer. Though necessary, we realize the impact these practices have on golfers, and we appreciate the patience of the golfing community.
The bunker renovation began as scheduled on July 8, with work beginning on the back 9 and will continue through August 27. In addition to the bunker renovation, the RCSC Board approved funding to begin a trial of TifTuf Bermudagrass on the par 3 tees at Lakes West. TifTuf has been developed to be drought tolerant and therefore requires 38% less water than typical bermudagrass. In addition to using less water it also has a higher shade tolerance, allowing it to retain color later into the season and recovering earlier in the spring.
Lawn Bowling/Grounds
Lawn Bowl pace is running from a low of 12.9 seconds on Lakeview West to a high of 14.0 seconds on Bell North. Moisture readings are running from a low of 9.8 at Lakeview West to a high of 12.0 at Bell South.
