Extensive Work on Sprain's 10th Fairway and 11th Tee
The project, which began in November, involved leveling 40,000 square feet of the 10th fairway and tripling the size of the 11th tee from 1,500 square feet to 5,000 square feet, creating a generous four-tier tee. As part of the project, the cart path adjacent to the fairway and tee was repositioned to ease golfer access and improve safety. The project also involved a substantial amount of tree pruning work and brush removal to improve playability and to open up some of Sprain Lake's great vistas. The trimming work will have the side benefit of improving air circulation and allowing more sunlight to shine through to the turf in certain areas. About 15,000 cubic yards of material were used to expand the tee. About 1,500 feet of black top and 400 feet of Belgian block curbing material were used for the cart paths. A total of 25,000 square feet of sod will be required for the entire project. The work is scheduled to be completed in the spring. In the meantime, there will be a temporary green on the 10th hole and a temporary 11th tee for golfers to play. Thanks for you patience while we improve your golf course. Through an innovative agreement, a Yonkers contractor paid for the construction work in exchange for a sewer easement for a housing development on Grassy Sprain Road in Yonkers. This saved taxpayers $90,000.
