Improving Course Conditions with Better Traffic Management

 


At Brickshire, our goal is to provide the best possible playing conditions for members and guests. Our maintenance team takes great pride in keeping the course in top shape, but maintaining healthy turf is a shared effort. One of the biggest challenges we face is managing cart traffic, especially in high-use areas.

 To help preserve turf quality and improve playability, we’re introducing a new traffic management system this season using enter and exit posts. These posts will guide carts to enter and exit fairways at designated points, helping to distribute wear more evenly and protect sensitive areas.

 

How It Works

• Golfers should enter fairways after the first post and exit before the second post.

•The posts will resemble our black and white 150-yard markers but with reversed colors—black on top, white on the bottom—for easy visibility.

• This simple adjustment will go a long way in keeping fairways in great shape throughout the season.

Why It Matters

 Cart traffic has a significant impact on turf health. By following these new guidelines, we can reduce wear patterns, prevent unnecessary damage, and ensure the course remains in top condition for everyone to enjoy.

 We appreciate your support in this effort and look forward to a great season ahead. Thank you for helping us take care of Brickshire!
