Major Improvements
COURSE PROGRESS REPORT
JULY 2026
Our beautiful golf course is currently showcasing some major improvement to the greens and fairways!
We are thrilled with the progress and hope you all come out to see the fruits of our labor.
Summer Spruce-up
Removal of Tree by the Putting Green
Wednesday, June 3rd, was a perfect day to play golf! After all the play activity died down, the BOD Property Committee organized ten volunteers to get together to take down the dead crepe myrtle tree by the putting green. Within an hour the tree was taken down and cleaned up. Many thanks to the following people: Dave Plaspohl, Doug Growe, Pat Thomas, Gary Girvin, Jim and Janet Stevenson, Jeannie and Ben Ford and Jill and Mike Sweeney.
COURSE PROGRESS REPORT
JUNE 2026
Our inaugural Chip in for the Course project involved acquiring 230 carp for all of our lagoons throughout the golf course to combat algae. The fish have already arrived, and given their 12-year life expectancy, this is a long-term investment! We are excited about the positive impact these carp will have on maintaining the health and beauty of our course for years to come.

It may not look like much, but it can be a life saver
The current severe drought leaves SBSGC totally dependent on using water from the Hardin canal to irrigate the course. The transfer pump system, located near the canal bridge on hole #12, pumps water from the canal to our reservoir located near the irrigation system . Unfortunately, the transfer pump system had not been used for several years and was in need of maintenance. Thanks to the expertise of members Floyd Roberson and Ira Jones the pump is now functioning well and providing the course with over two million gallons of much needed water per week . And a special thank you to Don Adams and two of his staff for giving the canal water basin a long overdue cleaning. If the cleaning process had been videoed, it would have made the top ten most watched episodes of Mike Rowe's Dirty Jobs TV series.
