The array at the Conover, N.C., property is made up of 16,948 solar panels on 28 acres, and the electricity produced, which will be sold to Duke Energy, will be enough to serve 500 homes annually. Construction of the solar farm began in November 2015 and concluded in June, with an expected life of up to 35 years.

In preparation for the Greater Hickory Kia Classic in October, the Conover, N.C., resort is deciding whether all 18 holes on its Robert Trent Jones Jr. Course are playable, or if holes from the adjacent Jackson Course will need to be blended in. Flooding on July 27 did heavy damage to the property’s greens, and temporary greens are currently in place on holes three and five.
