New Cart Signs



The Green Department recently installed cart directional signs throughout the golf course.  The intent of these signs is to direct cart traffic to the cart path before they get too close to the green.  When you approach one of these signs please proceed to the cart path.  Our goal is to protect the investment that has been made on the golf course.

Construction Update



Our contractor has begun working on two of the remaining six holes.  They will soon be adding sand to the greenside bunkers on #9.  The chipping area behind #9 Green should be approved by
Mr. Marzolf (our architect) on Wednesday and we will begin sodding it soon after we receive approval.  We also hope to have approval of the bunkers on # 18 by late next week.

A "Rough" time of year.

This time a year can be very challenging for both playing golf and trying to keep up mowing the turf.  Once soil temperatures reach a certain temperature in the Spring the growth of the grass is accellerated.  This time of year is also challenging with the seedheads that is produced by the Poa.  We currently have three rough mowers running eight to nine hours a day to keep the rough under control.  Sometimes this is not even enough.  We have a huge piece of propery with over 150 acres of rough that we mow on a weekly basis.  We are currently throwing our entire arsenal of mowing equipment at the rough at this time.  This typically lasts for a couple of weeks and the rough will return to a more normal growth pattern.  We appreciate your patience at this time.
