GOLF COURSE MASTER PLAN
18 HOLE MUNICIPAL GOLF COURSE
CITY OF SEBASTIAN, FLORIDA
The golf course envelope occupies available recreation property perimetering
the south and southeastern boundaries of the Sebastian Airport. The main
access to the clubhouse site will be from U. S. #1 via Fleming Street, and
then from the present ingress road to the airport hanger area. At the club-
house site, space has been allocated for future recreation expansion of four
tennis courts and a swimming pool.
The golf course was designed to be of regulation length, and a championship
quality recreation amenity with a par of 72. To satisfy the needs of most
golfers, three sections of teeing areas have been planned to provide variable
playing lengths of approximately 6,700 yards, championship (professional and
low handicap) tees, 6,200 yards men's tees, and 6,400 yards from the ladies'
tees, plus adjustable distance by tee marker movement. A driving range for
lessons and practice will be provided immediately north of the clubhouse site.
This plan was schematically prepared to provide location data for each of the
18 holes, their playing characteristics and features, the location in proximity
to the airport, clubhouse site, parking area and entrance road, maintenance
shop site and a future motel site. Details of construction plans supplied by
the Golf Course Architect will supersede the schematics of the Site Master Plan.
The City (Owner) will provide Architects and Engineers for design of all struc-
tures, parking lot and roads, utilities, etc..
n
STAKING AND CLEARING
I. STAKING
1. The City will be responsible for staking all property lines, corner
stakes and reference monuments.
2. The Contractor, by a combination of field staking, measurement and
survey, will locate and identify:
a. All greens, tees, landing points and fairway centerlines
noted on the plan.
b. All lakes' shorelines, mounding and grading zones per the
"Rough Grade Plans".
c. To use color coded ribbon on staking for ease of observation,
5' - 6' stakes on green, tee, landing, or target points; lath
stakes on center lines at 100' intervals.
3. During the initial staking and clearing process, the Owner, Contractor
and Architect will observe and resolve any site problems or difficulties
of construction, and determine the most logical position of the par 3
hole, number 5.
II. CLEARING
1. The first phase of clearing shall be the removal of trees, brush and
weed growth from the mandatory areas of golf play and construction:
The centerline of each hole, green, tee, target points, and
mounding contour sections.
2. The second phase of clearing shall be in the selective zones, to clean
out all brush, weeds, and remove less desired trees for golf play and
development of burmuda turf, to preserve specimen trees for background,
framing and landscape. Typical specimen trees on-site are Florida
slash pine, sabal palm (Cabbabe Palm) and live oak. The Golf Architect
shall make final determination on the removal/preservation of trees in
the selective clearing zones. Specimen clusters of palmetto shall be
selectively preserved in non -play areas as native landscape decor.
3. The Job Supervisor to flag or identify trees for removal and preserva-
tion in the selective clearing zones, and to consult with the Architect
on marginal areas. All marginal trees should be identified also near
the edges of the mandatory clearing areas.
4. The entire golf course site, during clearing and rough grade prepara-
tion, shall be cleaned of debris and prepared for planting of bermuda
turfgrass.
e\ II. CLEARING - Continued
5. Large areas of trees and brush shall be burned in designated areas
permissible. Any remaining material from burning, rocks, debris,
and vegetation with soil mix (non -burnable) shall then be buried
beneath large fairway/rough contour mounds, and excluding tees and
greens. Burial under fairway/rough mounds are subject to:
a. Pre -excavate an ample burial hole below the surface of
ground.
b. Mix burial areas with soil and to eliminate air pockets.
c. Compact to prevent settling.
d. Burial areas to have a minimum of 36" of soil cover at
finish grade.
e. Do not bury under tee and green mounds, and mounding
positions to be artworked for sand traps.
f. Do not bury in areas or at levels which interfere with
irrigation lines.
6. NOTE: Sabal Palms can survive with fill over natural elevations.
Some will be preserved as landscape to use on fringes of
mounding areas.
n
ON-SITE TOPSOILS
,/w
1. The best site topsoils are to be evaluated during staking and clearing and
preserved and stockpiled for use on tees and greens.
2. Approximately 30,000 cubic yards of topsoils, in addition to the greens
putting surfaces, shall be required to be preserved for all mounding
areas as a turfgrass growing medium.
3. The most western portion of the golf course site is at a slightly higher
elevation, is well drained, a growth cover with numerous oaks, and very
sandy in substance. This sandy soil can be preserved to satisfy the
requirements for greens and greens trap subsurface base drainage material
of high pore space. With the airport management and City's permission,
the clear zone near green number 5 and tee number 6 may also provide a
source for high sand content soils.
4. The most preferred topsoils shall have a high sand content, plus a mix
of natural organic. Subject to collection of samples and lab data, assume
60% - 40% - to 90% - 10% sand/organic range as the most preferred soil
material for evaluation, and free of rock and clay/hardpan type particles.
5. The Contractor to review with the Architect a schedule for temporary loca-
tion of stored topsoils, and selection of preferred soils for use on
/� specific features of greens, tees and mounds.
ROUGH GRADE SPECIFICATIONS
1. The Rough Grade Plan has been established to determine the Architect's
criteria and interest in creating an asymmetrical balance of earthwork
mounding and fill requirements, typical grades of elevation to develop
throughout the site, profile, size, contours of tees and features, and
surface drainage.
2. Mounding fill projections and estimates are the unit number illustrated
by each feature, times 100 multiple. Example: 18.5 = 1,850 cubic yards.
3. Eight (8) lakes are well dispersed throughout the route plan to provide
aesthetics, drainage, serve as playing features, and for ease of cut and
fill earthwork during construction of tees, greens, contours, mounds and
traps. Lake A between holes number 2 and 8 will be the prime source of
irrigation water storage, plus the reserve from Lake B. The depth of
expected cut is demonstrated on the Legend. A small percentage of fill
will also be generated from surface drainage swales. (During construc-
tion, if a fill shortage occurs, several lakes in designated areas could
potentially be expanded.)
4. Surface lake shoreline grades shall not exceed a 6 to 1 slope to waters
edge, then 2 to 1 below water line (hortizontal/verticle). Projections
on average water levels are three feet (3') below base grades (except
for Lake C, which may be lower). Assume the marked or staked line to be
one foot (1') below existing grade, or on the slope rather than the top
of bank.
5. Refer to the "Greens Detail Plans" for artwork styling and shaping speci-
fications. Due to the articulate artwork requirements, the Greens Details
are prepared on a 1" = 30' scale.
6. All swales shall be grass swales, rather than ditch cuts, and where possible,
not to exceed a side slope of 3 to 1, and 4 to 1 in shallow areas,a minimum
four foot (41) flat bottom, and where possible, above the normal water table
to keep swales manageable and playable.
7. Tee surfaces shall be graded level, and shall average twenty-five to thirty
feet (25' - 301) maintainable width, except for variables as indicated by
curvilinear, split-level, and pod type tee architecture.
B. As indicated on the overall site plan, fairway traps shall be artworked in
contour mounds in the target or landing point zones. The Architect shall
review with the Contractor the specific locations, trap size and architec-
tural style on each. Assume a range of twenty-five to thirty (25 to 30)
fairway traps shall be required. Refer to the typical detail sketch in
the specification sheets, and to artwork expressions of greens trap design.
9. After initial clearing and staking of the 5th hole, a par 3, the Architect,
Owner and Contractor will review the best location for the tee areas and
green. This tee cluster is now located south of the creek, but in the
^ event cost of construction and bridging are determined unfeasible, then
this hole shall be installed per the specification of the alternate design.
10. Three thousand (3,000) cubic yards of fill has been designated to elevate
/'ti the clubhouse site. Rough Grade Specifications shall be supplied by the
Owner and clubhouse Architect.
11. To expedite surface water directional movement, the Contractor shall note
the numerous areas of sheet flow to be fine graded. The purpose is to
establish a broad percolation area and more natural golf appearance between
elevation grades.
12. The spot elevations shown are taken from a previous U.S. Naval Air Boundary
and Topographic Map. These are used for general guidelines of the surface
terrain, but not authenticated. Some deviation may occur or be noticed
during actual construction.
13. A Fill Contingency is provided for additional artwork, increase of mounding
elevations, new site determined contours, and to fill any scattered low
spots requiring surface adjustment for drainage criterias and turf develop-
ment.
14. Topsoils for turf development: The estimated requirement is listed in the
Legend. During the clearing process of the site, the most valuable agron-
omic soils are to be further evaluated for stockpiling. All quality soils
from the surface of lake cuts, swale cuts, and large mound locations shall
be separated from subsurface soils and stockpiled. These preferred soils
shall have a high sand content, and mixed with natural site organics. The
most westerly property also has a sand ridge which can generate quality sand/
soil requirements for the surface of greens and tees, which receive the most
preferred soils, and for high sand content material to satisfy drainage and
subsurface physical requirements beneath greens and greens traps.
15. All fairway contour mounds shall be artworked, blended, and dressed to
existing grades prior to covering with topsoil, then fine floated for a
natural visual appearance prior to grassing.
16. All rough grade mounds have been topographically planned with two foot (21)
contour intervals, illustrated to rough grade shape, and with the cubic
yardage of fill material noted on each mound. In a case of confliction
between the height verses the volume of a mound, then contact the Architect
for judgement and determination.
17. All surface drainage has been directed to a canal parallel to the south
property line near the clubhouse site, and west to the creek. Any material
specifications required prior to water discharge at these points (i.e.,
culverts and water retention devices) shall be detailed by the City Engineer
and be extra to the golf course contract.
18. As noted in the Greens Detail Specifications, there shall be a high pore
space material beneath the trap floor housing as part of this contract.
However, the fifty-five (55) gallon drum catch basin and discharge pipe
shall be added where deemed necessary by the Architect on a per unit cost.

GREENS DETAIL PLANS
GREENS EXHIBIT AND DETAIL SHEET
1. The Greens Details have been topographically prepared at a 1" = 30, scale
for the comprehensive understanding and readability by the artwork operators.
The design illustrates all surfaces, contour mounds, and playing character-
istics of the putting greens.
2. The Greens Exhibit and Detail Sheet illustrates by artist rendering the
artwork mounding and visual perspective as viewed from an overhead advanced
position. This sheet also demonstrates a typical cross section of the putting
surface and a cross section of a typical sand trap demonstrating subsurface
drainage, and optional drain field for difficult drainage conditions.
3. Fill material for construction of the greens shall be rock free and relatively
free of marl and colloidal materials that effect water percolation. The
greens shall receive the most appropriate shaping soils from the site for base
fill.
4. After fill is delivered to the green sites, they shall be artwork shaped by
an experienced golf course artwork dozer operator.
5. The overall greens mounding, artwork, and putting surface are to be preshaped
for approval by the Architect. The putting surface area shall be held short
of grade to accept the subsurface high pore space sandy material and greens
/1 topsoils and soil amendments. (8" and 7" respectively.)
6. The putting surface topsoils selected shall be the best available from the
site, and blended with two (2) inches of coarse silica sand to a uniform depth
of seven (7) inches, and purchased from an approved source as a soil amendment
(quote cost in bid form). Assume 800 cubic yards of silica sand by volume.
7. Any additional silica sand required, or peat, or soil purchases as a greens
amendment, shall be provided by the Owner to the Contractor for blending of
greens mixer. All materials supplied by the Owner shall be delivered to the
site, with the Contractor responsible for delivery to each green and spread-
ing of materials.
8. It is desired that the sub -base transfer and perc moisture equivalent to ten
(10) inches of moisture per hour or greater, and that the greens topsoil mix
have a moisture perc rate of between five (5) to seven (7) inches per hour.
9. Putting surface topsoils and amendment blending: On-site blending by roto -
tiller shall be acceptable to the Architect provided that this process shall
be performed four or five times minimum, each in different directions and/or
as frequently as necessary to provide a non-layering uniform mix of soils
free of rock, or any debris which may hinder or influence turfgrass develop-
ment and/or maintenance of the greens.
10. All greens shall require the approval of the Architect during rough grade
^ shaping, and again at finish grade prior to planting.
11. The Golf Architect shall reserve the right to:
a. Make modification of shaping during the artwork process; to
perfect and improve design and playability.
b. To substitute or redesign new artwork plans prior to this
phase of each location, when, after clearing and staking and
as construction developes, it is determined that a whole or
proportionate different shape, style, or approach shall be
an improvement to play.
12. The Contractor shall keep all slopes, and trap fingers at grades which are
easy to maintain. Assume gang mowers on the outside slopes, and triplex
mowers on trap mounds and trap fingers and greens riding mowers on putting
surfaces.
NOTE: With modern construction slopes, vary from 5:1 to 20:1 (+) as
part of the aesthetic mounding criterias. Occasionally, such
as on grass trap fingers, a more severe slope will be required
as a feature of the finger or mound. (Review greens plans
carefully for overall performance.)
13. The minimum greens putting surface size has been listed. Shaping shall be
to assure ease of mowing to these sizes, with room for berm on the outside,
and with eight (8) feet to ten (10) feet of apron (min.) between putting
surface and traps to enable triplex greens mower maneuverable turn -around
space.
NOTE: Apron size varies to specifications, design, and set -back require-
ments of the plans (with minimum of eight (8) feet to ten (10 feet
set -back).
14. Additional Criteria:
a. Refer to drawn detail and plans.
b. Overall playability and visual beauty of each green is significantly
more important than the volume of material used for construction.
c. Greens mounding heights are marked at footage intervals over base
grades, and not at height above sea level.

FULLY AUTOMATIC IRRIGATION SYSTEM
A. The following pages are specifications on the installation of a full,
automatic Torro Irrigation System utilizing primarily 674 Series
'Hydraulic Valve -in -Head Pop -Up Sprinklers. The automation of this
system is controlled by Toro Vari-Time II Master, and field
satellites.
B. Within the construction documents are three sheets of irrigation
plans and specifications detailing the location of all sprinklers,
the routing and looping of the pipelines and the automatic program-
ing of each sprinkler from the satellites.
C. The Contractor shall install irrigation pipe of Class 160, Ring
Tight, an equivalent to Johns -Manville or CertainTeed brand. All
fittings, unless otherwise specified, shall be of Schedule 40.
D. Within the specification pages are listed the estimated component
breakdown of sprinkler pipe and irrigation equipment to be used at
Sebastian. This is the Architect's estimate, and the Contractor
shall be responsible within the bid to provide his own takeoff and
estimate of total materials and complete turnkey job. After each
schedule of values on irrigation equipment is a unit price to be
utilized for additions and deletions and in the event the Architect
and Owner wish to establish extra sprinklers in areas not fully
covered by the irrigation system, or delete sprinklers.
E. The Contractor is to site -stake the irrigation system and location
of heads, and request approval of staking from the Architect prior
to the installation of the pipe and the automatic equipment. The
Contractor is also to adapt and stake out to the as -built site,
adjusting when necessary to fit the as -built curvelinear and contour
mounds and features of the site.
F. Due to the fact that the irrigation system is planned on a two
dimensional map and is installed over a fully topographic site,
quite frequently there is a space which shall require sprinkler
heads but does not list this area to be irrigated on paper. This
is due to the fact that the surface of the golf course will measure
topographically for a greater distance or a greater footage than
that measured on paper. Where a shortage exists the Contractor shall
immediately bring this shortage to the Architect's attention for
judgement and determination.
The Contractor and any sub -contractors shall be fully experienced
in the installation of high pressure, golf course automatic irri-
gation systems, and within the provisions of the contract, offer
a full one year warranty for materials and labor to service the
irrigation system after approvals and installation.
SECTION I. ( Cont.)
/\
F. The Contractor shall also provide a warranty service for a response
period to repair the system and to respond within forty-eight (48)
hours on all emergency calls.
