Opening Day

It's nice to have the course open, unfortunately later than normal but this spring has been a long time coming. The course is pretty wet in spots and carts will be a day by day decision until we see some dryer weather.
 We are keeping our equipment off the course as much as possible to minimize traffic patterns. With dryer weather we will get the remainder of the course cleaned up and increase manicuring the playing surfaces. It would be nice to see more sunny days and warmer temperatures to really get the grass growing. Until this happens we do not want to stress the turf to much because it needs to be growing to recover.

15th Green April 28th

Much of our time over the last week has been doing repairs on the 15th and 17th green. We have moved a considerable amount of sod from the nursery to repair damaged areas and now we need the weather to cooperate to get this turf growing/recovering. We will keep these areas covered for the next few weeks depending on the weather. It will take time to recover to playable condition but fortunately we have the badly damaged areas replaced.
