Winter Update

Within the next few weeks, our department will be publishing our winter update. This update will detail the projects and progress we anticipate this December through February. We will email this update to the membership and also post it to the blog once its complete.

Over the past few weeks our staff has been completely consumed with leaf clean-up on the course. Heavy winds have brought down the majority of leaves but many more remain on the trees.  We anticipate the leaf cleanup to continue over the next month.

The greens, practice facility, and par three tees have been painted for the winter season. The paint came out wonderful and mimics the rye grass color from the past. We are going to make a second application to the greens in the upcoming weeks and will also be painting some additional areas to the course.
