Course Conditions Update

Spring has yet to get out of the gate which has limited the assessment of the greens from the ice damage & slowed the progress of opening the course.  A few nice days last weekend helped to awaken things slightly but not enough to know the end result on the severity of the damage to the Poa. 

Course cleanup has been under way for over a week but it has been tough with the overly wet conditions and being able to get equipment on the course.  As always we are doing the best we can with the situation that has been dealt to us by Mother Nature.

The course is making progress that has allowed us to deeptine aerify, mow, & roll greens in order to help the healing process that is so desperately needed as well as mowing 80% of the fairways.  The wet conditions has made these tasks difficult to achieve but we have been creative in making any and all attempts we can in preparing the course for golf.

As of today the course is only available to walking with the greens still closed so please use the temporary greens until instructed otherwise.  Depending on what happens the next 2 days with the forecasted rain will determine if we are able to make any changes to the course status.  I will give an update at the end of the week for the weekend course conditions.
