Course to be prime, playable by August

Taking on a project to more than double the size of the Painted Woods Golf Course in one summer was a painstaking process. Trevor Leidy has been an avid golfer much of his life, but never knew he could actually spend too much time on the greens.
He’s been working most every day of the week to put his mark on a project he said was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. But he wasn’t alone. Regular golfers on the course have become regular volunteers on the project. Leidy spends much of his time thanking those people for the time and machinery they’ve given up for this project. Dennis Bustad and Wayne Leidholm were both on the course Thursday. They were enjoying a round of golf after putting more time in on the course.
With all the work being done starting in May, the course is on target for a July or August opening date in 2014.
They’ve already been mowing greens for six weeks on the new expansion and recently mowed the fairways.
Leidy is excited about how the course is looking.
"We’re getting a lot of great response," Leidy said.
