Golf Course Update

Things are progressing quickly on the golf course.  Just 1 week ago the majority of the golf course was still under snow and we had a significant amount of frost still remaining in the ground.  The combination of high winds with warmer than average temperatures over the weekend, and Monday's high temperature near 80 has expedited the thawing and firming process considerably.  Conditions have changed so much that we...

WILL OPEN THE GOLF COURSE FOR WALKING PLAY ON FRIDAY.

Golf carts will NOT be available at this time nor do we have a target date on when they will become available.  Please keep in mind the Green Department has only had a few days to prepare the course for play.  In past years the thawing and firming process has generally taken 2 - 3 weeks, allowing the crew to complete debris removal before opening.  In order to open the course and allow for play this week, the maintenance crew will need to perform our usual spring golf course prep in conjuction with play.  This week the focus will be on clearing greens, tees, fairways and bunkers of any debris such as limbs and leaves.  As the week progresses we will switch our efforts from course clean up to course setup which will include rolling greens, cutting new hole locations and new tee locations.  Hopefully with Mother Nature's help next week we could possibly perform the first mowings of the year.
