A fresh coat of dark brown paint is going on the wood fence at hole 6, perfectly complementing our club’s color palette.

The first deliveries for the 2025 @BoiseOpen

What a course! Looks amazing thanks to the hard work and leadership of Ernesto Gamez & Robert Archbold, our awesome Assistant Golf Course Superintendents — plus the whole crew. Great team effort!

The new entrance walkpath for the Boise Open looks great! Our longest tenured team member, Robert, did a fantastic job with this project.

Topdressing day at Hillcrest! 🌱⛳️ This morning we’re giving our greens a fresh layer of sand to keep them smooth, healthy, and rolling true. Thanks for your patience while we keep the course in top shape!

First restless night of the summer thinking about the rough at Hillcrest. Want it perfect for the membership at 1.75", then get it to 3+" for the @BoiseOpen—without disrupting member play. Tricky to time when to stop mowing before the @BoiseOpen. Bring back the September date 🤣

One of those mornings where I take a moment to enjoy the conditions provided by the Hillcrest Turf Team.

Last nights wind storm took down a branch and smashed our gate at the canal.

We are hosting a demo of the @FireFlyAuto fairway mower. Wow! What an unbelievable piece of machinery!

@BoiseOpen Media Day at Hillcrest. Guest speaker @chambleebrandel was excellent and candid. I now get to hit the sticks in the Media Day Scramble.

Congratulations to @razobe01 and the Panther Creek Country Club team + volunteers for a memorable 10th annual @MHChampionship - Thank you for all of your hard work providing excellent conditions from tee to green @KornFerryTour @PGATOURAgronomy

Ladies Invitational practice rounds start today.

Had to bring in our mini excavator to help dig through these tree roots to fix an irrigation issue at the clubhouse lawns. #Roots

Thank you to all the members who came out to the course appreciation event this evening at Hillcrest. Half the members went with @brijon5555, while the other half joined me filling divots on tees and fairways with @TurfMend. #ThankYou

I love the areas where we have added supplemental irrigation! You can see all the irrigation we have installed around this irrigation pond.

Our lead ditch digger @mattgourlaycgcs in 18 months has transformed the weakest area (approaches) at Hillcrest into one of the strongest

Lexi seems bothered she isn't running the course and is stuck watching me water.

Evening shift for Day 2 of the Men's Invitational at Hillcrest. Mowing fairways, tees, and collars. Moisture management on greens, tees, and fairways.
