Spring Aerification

While many of our members are still at their warmer winter homes out of state, our NCC Golf Course Operations staff is preparing the course for the coming season.  Despite 27 degree temperatures, our staff was beginning the first scheduled seasonal topdressing and aerification procedures.  


These men work in every type of weather conditions to serve our membership.  Much of these necessary practices are scheduled and undertaken at times in order to be less visible and impacting to member play.

Fairway aerification is following the fairway topdressing.   This places the sand into the soil profile.

Leaves and winter debris must be cleaned for course preparation.
