Cutten Turfgrass

The final episode of our Playing Through series presented by @MichelobULTRACA takes you to Guelph’s @CuttenFields. Located in the heart of Guelph, Ont., the course was founded by Arthur Cutten and designed by American Chick Evans, who sought help from Stanley Thompson. In recent years, the course underwent a significant tree removal program and was restored by Jeff Mingay, who brought back bunker and green shapes of the original layout while overhauling two holes. The result is a golf course that appeared on SCOREGolf’s Top 100 ranking for the first time in 2024, placing 69th.

Canada’s @cuttenfields reopens following completion of @jeff_mingay renovation golfcoursearchitecture.net/content/cutten…

A vision realized: With a revamped design and a rich history, Cutten Fields is delightful - SCOREGolf scoregolf.com/features/golf-…

Despite the recent snow and cold weather we have continued to make progress. Started working on No.1 green today.

Time for the blow out! Thanks to Cutten Fields for your support on this ESSENTIAL winter maintenance @CuttenTurfgrass

The construction doesn't stop when the snow hits! ❄️🌨️ Our Grounds Team has started to sod the new bunkers on Hole 18 today! @CuttenTurfgrass

@plgcgreens Sorry for your loss Jim.

It's sad to announce the passing of my wife Susan, Many of you in the golfing and superintendents community know her..She loved playing golf with my fellow superintendents and Associates. She will be missed.

Very close to starting drainage on 2 and 6

@wgcgreens_brad Liam is more than pulling his weight. Great kid and a bright future in golf.

@CuttenTurfgrass I hope young Liam Wells is pulling his weight on that project! I know he’s loving working for you and learning so much!!

Drainage completed on 3 green today. Mix will be going in next week. Interesting to see clay tile in some of these old greens.

A few agronomic improvements on the 4th green with no significant opportunity to improve sunlight. -increased green size (pin positions) -multiple entry and exit points  -South facing -Drainage (surface & internal)

18 green @CuttenFields

Can you find the germinated grass seed?

I always admire the work the drainage team does right before we burry it. They do such a nice job!

Preparing 4 green for shaping.

First cut on 12/17 today.

Drainage being installed on 18 green today.

Happy Thanksgiving
