| Course has taken shape even with the curve balls Mother Nature keeps throwing at us |
It has been a Spring to remember with many ups and downs but it seems Mother Nature does have a few days of great weather planned for the Memorial Day Weekend. All greens will be open for play beginning Saturday as well as the opening of the 12th tee box. The progression of the greens recovery from the ice damage has far from went as planned but we are starting to see more and more improvement each day as the weather has warmed the temperatures closer to the growing conditions needed for the new seedlings to mature. The constant below average temperatures has not served us well in the recovery process but I am convinced that is all about to change as we transition into late Spring. The third round of seeding the damaged areas on greens will take place next week as well as the seeding of the damaged fairway areas. A few greens are less than ideal from a playability stand point but you can't help but notice all the germinated seed in these areas and the improvement that has been achieved even with Mother Nature working against us.
A few new items at the Range area are installed so please take notice.
 |
| Please be advised and adhere to the range rules |
Simple to follow and will aid in the safety of golfers and allow the range tee to not take any undo abuse.
 |
| Safety bells have been added on both 8 & 11 to warn golfers at the range tee you are entering the area. |
Please stop hitting range balls if you hear the bell. Golfers are entering the area so please put your practice on hold until they clear the area.
 |
| New Tee Signs are installed and looking great |
 |
| New Range tee is coming along great |
Tee Signs are hung and we have begun to lower the height of cut on the new range tee sod. Progress!!
The storms earlier in the week put a lot of extra work on our plate as we had just gotten things back on track from the wet week prior. Needless to say we are in a great place course conditions wise as the weekend is here.
 |
| Flooded areas of the course required the trash pumps |
 |
| 9 Bridge was impassable but the crew braved the raging rapids of Butterfield Creek to get the fallen tree cleaned up |
 |
| Bunkers needed some TLC to get them playable once again |
 |
| The end game of having the course ready for the weekend is complete! |
 |
| Except for the Maple Tree whirly birds as they are beginning their annual flight |
Have a great holiday weekend!
