Round by Round
With all of the snow we had this winter, it’s difficult to commit to an opening date for golf. Some may think that with the amount of the snow on the ground that opening day will get pushed back or delayed. In the past 15 years, we have only opened twice in the month of March, so there is no need to worry about that. Typically our opening day is in the middle of April once the conditions permit us to open and our Superintendent gives the pro shop the go ahead to start booking tee times. There is a lot of work to do to get the course opened up. We not only have to replace all of the sod that is removed to allow the melting snow to run off the green surfaces, we also have to pick up a lot of tree and limb debris throughout the course that has fallen over the winter season. With the amount of snow that we have realized, it will take some time for the turf to dry out as well. As all of these things evolve, we will communicate our tentative date of opening as soon as Jeff feels confident that he can chose a date. We look forward to starting our greenside bunker project on or about April 1st. This project will have such a positive impact on the playability, maintenance, and the overall enhanced look of the bunker complexes. We are all very excited to get started with this project and ultimately to be out there playing golf again. The 2021 tournament and event schedule is up on the website for your review.
