Clubhouse Overseeding - October 20, 2025

 

The annual overseeding of the Clubhouse Grounds is scheduled to begin on Monday, October 20th and continue through turf establishment. This will likely take 2-3 weeks depending on weather conditions.

This process involves planting a new layer of cool-season grass seed to ensure a lush and healthy lawn for the upcoming winter and spring seasons. To achieve the best results, the seeded areas will be heavily irrigated during this time. The areas to be overseeded have been mowed lower than normal to create space for the seed to be dropped.

 What to expect:

  • Restricted access: Certain areas of the clubhouse lawn will be roped off or marked with signage. We kindly ask that you respect these closures to allow the new seed to germinate properly.
  • Wet conditions: The grounds will be noticeably wet for 2-3 weeks following the initial seeding.
  • Foot traffic: We request that members and guests avoid all foot and cart traffic on the newly seeded areas.

We appreciate your cooperation as we work to maintain the high standards of our club grounds. This process is crucial for the long-term health and appearance of our property. We look forward to enjoying a beautiful clubhouse lawn with you soon.

Golf Course Update - February, 19, 2025

The Agronomy Team has been working hard to prepare the courses for the freezing weather. All greens are covered, and several are double-covered. Greens that are not double-covered have added protection from mulch in areas that have proven susceptible to cold weather damage.      The weather forecast continues to change. This is nothing new for Texas. It also shows how difficult it can be for management to plan the opening of the golf courses. While we want to provide access, we prioritize protecting the golf course. Currently, the forecast for Saturday morning is low at 24 degrees. This temperature can cause injury to our Miniverde greens if exposed. We communicated the plan to uncover it on Friday and open it on Saturday. If this forecast low of 24 holds, we will be forced to leave covers on Friday night and remove Saturday.  Cold Weather Injury Potential   Research shows that cold weather likely injures ultra dwarf bermudagrass when temperatures drop to 25 deg...

Agronomy Update - December 5, 2024

Preparing golf courses for winter always impacts playing conditions, but the transition from fall to winter is a reality that golfers and golf course management must face. Remember that having a great spring depends on getting the course through winter in the best shape possible.   Please help us provide the best winter playing conditions by:    Keep carts on paths as much as possible   Filling your divots and repairing ball marks (yours plus one!)   Rake bunkers and always enter / exit at the lowest point closest to your ball   Avoid high traffic and wet areas when carts are allowed off paths   Be careful with the flagstick – it can be damaging to the green, especially the cup   Greens Raising mowing heights on greens will affect putting on some days. If we get a warm front that lasts a few days, the greens will grow enough to slow the greens down. However, this is necessary to keep the greens from becoming unplayable during cold, windy weat...

Dye Course Update - August 24, 2025

  Dye Course Update | August 24 Dear Stonebriar Members, The Agronomy Team kicked off this aerification closure with great food and camaraderie. Club Manager, Chris Marioni, coordinated a taco truck to feed the team. The food was excellent, and it was a welcome break from the summer grind. A special “Thank You” to Chris for doing this for our Agronomy Team. The Dye Course aerification closure has been very productive. We received 0.25” of rain, which caused a minor setback, but we were able to get back on schedule. The greens are healing quickly and look great. They were aerified with 5/8” side eject tines, the largest coring tines we use at Stonebriar. Cores were removed at a 2” x 2” spacing, which calculates to 7.67% of the putting surface affected. In our three core aerifications in 2025, we have affected 17.49% of the putting surfaces. Theoretically, we are replacing the top 3.5” of the green's soil profile every 5.7 years.     We are following the same aerification s...
