COURSE CONDITIONS

Our Maintenance Crew has been busy with leaf removal this season. The mild temperatures seem to have the leaves hanging around longer than normal and it has been a daily challenge for our team.

We are excited to start a new program this year, which will be daily rolling of all greens, the only exception will be when there is a heavy frost. On most days that the course opening is delayed by frost, it is important for us to get the course open for play rather than to delay it for an extra hour for maintenance.

We also are needing to repair several areas of concrete in our parking lot and driveway, you may have noticed we have begun this maintenance.

Lastly, we are proud to announce that there has been three additional bridge replacements approved. The bridges approved are 10, 12 and 17 on the Blue Course. You will be seeing the contractor welding and engineering the bridges and preparing them for installation through January. When all three bridges have been built, we will begin the removal of the old bridges and replacing them with the new bridges. Progress updates will be communicated weekly through the eNews and our new App Club Feed!
