Golf Course Advisory Board Regular Meeting · 2026-05-11 · agenda_item

The City of Winter Park's Golf Course Advisory Board is reviewing a situation involving widespread injury to the golf course's putting greens, likely caused by herbicide damage. Symptoms have been observed for over six weeks, with minimal turf recovery. Significant sod replacement may be needed to restore playability. An estimated 3 to 4 inches of organic matter has built up over the last decade, impacting growing conditions. This item is currently under review. The project would involve site preparation, including clearing and grading, followed by the installation of new sod. It may also include work on the underlying soil profile. Contractors specializing in landscaping, sod installation, and potentially site preparation could find opportunities. Reaching out to the city early in the review process may provide an advantage before specific plans or bids are finalized.
