The TwinEagles Club

📚🚌📓

Volunteerism is up in Southwest Florida! Big props to the members of TwinEagles for organizing a team of volunteers from their community. The group attended the Lipman Family Farms backpack stuffing event and helped pack 1500 backpacks in an assembly line style. You rock TwinEagles!

We were honored to welcome Jack Nicklaus II, Vice Chairman of Nicklaus Companies and Chad Goetz, Senior Design Associate with Nicklaus Design, for our Talon Ribbon-Cutting and Reception on Thursday. A huge thank you to Jackie, Chad, the entire Nicklaus organization, and every single individual who worked so hard to bring us to this moment. The result is simply stunning.

The Clubhouse looks less and less recognizable every day! It's a dramatic representation of the momentum carrying us toward a brand new Club experience.

TurfHound was on-site yesterday installing new hitting stations at the back of the new practice range. Each hitting station has fairway height turf as well as rough height turf. Members can also use a tee in the designated locations on each mat. The final step will be a border of paver bricks that will be installed within the next two weeks. Things are coming along nicely!

Here's a bird's eye view of the magnificent green complex on Talon No. 16. The course is really coming into final form, and will soon be delighting and challenging our Members ... just don't miss here on No. 16 😜

A look at the stunning new bulkhead and extended lake on Talon No. 17. Stay tuned in the coming week for an in-depth look at a the enhancements on a few select holes (including No. 17 😉).

A Tale of Two Ceilings

So it begins.

Our ladies definitely brought the pink to Ladies' Opening Day yesterday! Their theme was "I Pink I Can! I Pink I Can!" They looked spectacular, and had the game to go with it!

It was beautiful out this morning taking a peek at the progress on the Talon!

What a difference a month makes! Talon No. 4 was one of the first holes to be sprigged with grass and it is coming along magnificently!

What happens when the best finishing hole in SWFL gets even better?! Gorgeous day looking at the progress on Talon No. 18!

❤️🤍💙

The No. 16 green will be a truly unique challenge for our Members. It features a two-level design with an abundance of elegant movement. We're so excited to see this and its 17 siblings take shape toward their completed look.

Here's a bird's eye view of the recently sprigged fairway on Talon No. 6! Who says watching grass grow isn’t exciting?!

It's amazing to see the course start to take shape with some of the look and feel of the finished project! Here, sod is laid in around the No. 15 green with its exciting new bulkhead work!

Friday was an incredibly momentous day for the Talon renovation. Hole No. 4 was the first fairway to be sprigged in. Work is well underway on this exciting process for multiple holes and, soon, the Talon will be coming alive as more grass goes in. Stay tuned for more!

The practice green behind the Clubhouse looks a little better suited to practicing getting out of a bunker at the moment (but don't go trying it 😜)! 🚜⛳️

                                 

Today, crews began sprigging in grass on greens for much of the Talon front nine. Here, crews work on the No. 5 green. What a significant milestone for the course!

Here's an inside look (literally) at the bulkhead work on Talon No. 17. It's fascinating to see this process unfolding!

Here’s a great look at the continuing work on the No. 15 bulkhead. Things are really starting to take shape out on the Talon!

The Talon is starting to look more and more like a course every day! Crews are busy laying in sod around bunkers and greens. They are hard at work here on No. 6 ⛳️🚜

                                 

The TwinEagles Club would like to take a moment to wish a to all of our Members, their families and friends of the Club.

Whether you're golfing or grilling, we hope that you have a safe and fun-filled Fourth!

It's no Grand Canyon, but the bury pit on the practice range is coming along nicely! Here's a look from yesterday. We had sunshine over the range, with afternoon storms looming large in the background.

Bury pits allow crews to extract fill material from the ground and provide a location to place organic materials removed from the range surface including old grasses.

Today is a momentous day for our Talon renovation! The first bit of grassing is underway as sod is laid on Talon No. 5. Before long, the hole will look quite recognizable.

Exciting work today as crews set the pilings for the new bulkhead on Talon No. 15!

Crews have already begun stripping the tees at the back of the practice range. The practice facility is one of the last major areas to begin work as part of the Talon renovation!

That's a wrap on resurfacing the tennis courts. We can't wait to see you out there! 🎾

                     

We're currently in the process of resurfacing our HAR-TRU clay tennis courts. The new lines are already down on Court No. 2! The next step is to lay down the crushed stone top dressing and start rolling it out 🎾

                     

Work continues on the replacement of the Talon pump house system between Talon Nos. 3 & 4. Talon Superintendent, Tim Denham, describes the pump house as "the heart" of the course irrigation system. 🏗🚜⛳️

                                   

The Talon isn't the only course with work going on! Today, crews began critical maintenance work on the front nine of the Eagle. Here is a look at the aeration process on Eagle No. 9. Aeration alleviates compaction, removes CO2 and introduces O2 into the soil. The process also improves drainage and nutrient uptake which benefits the overall turf health.

                       

The TwinEagles Club remembers and honors today all who gave their lives in service to our country.

Crews began the work of laying in gravel on the Talon No. 10 green this morning. This process is part of the drainage system and will prepare the green to receive the sand & soil mixtures and, ultimately, the green itself.
