Spring has Sprung
The very difficult winter has taken its toll on the golf course. We have experienced some ice damage on several of our green. Holes #6, #7, #9, #10, #14, and #18 has experienced some degree of damage. It is still to early to determine the severity and how much will respond to some warmer temperatures. We have recently fertilized these greens and the covers will remain on the Old Course until we start to experience some consistent warmer temperatures. We will keep you updated with the recovery process and let you know when the Old Course will open. We began removing the snow from the greens in early February to try and remove the ice. Keep in mind that the covers do not prevent ice damage. The covers are actually permeable. They allow water and air to pass through. Covers are used to protect the greens from extreme wind and extreme cold termperatures which we are so prone to.
