Abstract/Contents:Describes the golf facilities at Valley Hi Country Club. States that the course was constructed in 1961. Notes that the course has issues with grass growth due to the fact that the course uses Seaside Bentgrass, which does not have the ability to penetrate the clay soil in the area. Explains that aerification cannot be used on the fairways because the sprinkling lines could be punctured since they are so close to the surface. Notes that "attempts to change the grass to bermuda have not been met with approval from the members, who do not like dormant bermuda on the fairway." Mentions that "the course is otherwise very well laid out."
