A Throne: Fit for a King


Before
After
If you've ever visited a restroom on the golf course, then there's a chance an HGTV remodeling show has come to mind and how a few changes might not be a bad idea.  Well, the updating is underway!  Fresh paint, new vanities, wainscoting and a lot of hard work is transforming our restrooms to original condition. The project started this summer and Dominion Valley is complete.  The Regency is now underway and will be completed by the end of February.  

We would like to express our sincere thanks to Bernie Cole for executing the project.  He is doing a tremendous job and his continued attention to detail is remarkable.

Please enjoy your new facilities.

DVCC goes Green........er

Dominion Valley is a proud member  of the Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary Program, created and administered by Audubon International.  Its mission is to improve the quality of life and the environment through research, education and conservation assistance.  Under its program we are striving to implement best management practices in environmental planning, wildlife and habitat management, chemical use reduction and safety, water conservation, water quality management, and community outreach and education.  Our goal is to have our efforts in environmental stewardship recognized by becoming certified as an Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary.

Currently, we are working on environmental planning, wildlife and habitat management portions of the program.  Look for a post on bird nest houses in the near future.

#18 Drainage

Recently, we completed some much needed drainage projects on hole eighteen.  As stated in the previous posts, similar projects will continue through the winter.  The goal is simple, remove surface and subsurface water from areas that remain wet.   Commonly, the best approach is to create a trench, add pipe, gravel, catch basins(if needed), regrade and sod.

A catch basin is added to collect surface water.
