Harmony’s Anomaly – Truly Unique

It’s often asked, “how can Harmony offer such extensive high-quality amenities for such a below-market, bargain price?” Simply said, Harmony is still in the development phase of the community, therefore the development company, through on-going sales, is able to provide additional operating capital until such time the membership counts reach maturity.

Golf Course Maintenance Spring 2019

April 8th and 9th Harmony will deploy a new piece of equipment for greens aerification. The machine, known as a “deep tine” or “verti-drain” aerator is capable of making deeper holes to penetrate the various profiles of material that make up USGA greens.

When winter sets in, the course’s turf goes dormant.  The leaf tissue dies, essentially becoming an insulating barrier to the crown; the delicate part of the plant … Continue readingWhat’s Missing is the Moisture
