After almost a foot of snow since last week, the winter walking and skiing trails are groomed, and ready for use. Justin has just finished preparing them, and reports they are in great shape for the first groom of the season. I say this every year, but if you have never used the trails in […]

The Flip
The weather has flipped. I was hoping that it wouldn’t come this quick, as it has seemed to come earlier each year for the past three years. Looking at the forecast, and the extended models, it looks like the flip isn’t changing course. With the forecasted low temperatures in the 20’s and 30’s, and the […]

By now, you probably have noticed the new fairway expansion grassing lines. We’ve been slowly lowering the height of cut on these areas for the past 3 weeks, and are at a height that is now easily noticeable. These grassing lines are part of the Master Plan, which is bringing back the original Seth Raynor […]

Last night’s storm brought us 2.75″ of rain, after 2:00 am. The golf course had already received 1.95″ since last Saturday. With the ground being saturated, and the rain that fell this morning, there is no where for it to go. Even areas of the course that do have drainage (including bunkers), are not working […]

This page will be designed to ask any question you may have. It might be about the Master Plan, or it could be about something you’ve seen or heard, that you’d like clarity on. Whatever question or comment comes to mind, this is the place for it! So I’ll start with a common question that […]

This morning’s wave of lightning and light rain have kept us off the golf course. Just like golfers, we cannot afford to be on the course with lightning present. We are currently in a holding pattern, while the system moves through. It’s hard to predict how long it will last, as we thought it was […]

This year’s women’s US Open is held at Country Club of Charleston, a 1925 Seth Raynor Design. This fantastic course was restored several years ago, and will showcase some of Raynor’s best work on a flat piece of land. You’ll see all of the Template/Ideal holes, and hopefully nicely highlighted throughout the TV broadcast. Andy […]

It’s been a roller coaster winter, and just like we didn’t want, a few extra weeks of it. But Wednesday at 10:00, we can put all of that behind us, and kick off the season. The weather looks great, I hope you can join us! If you haven’t already heard, this winter was a tough […]

Update on the Centennial Bridge On Monday, Hartman Construction poured the floor of the bridge. A pump truck was brought in to reach the 55 foot span of the bridge, and now, the concrete will be left to cure for a week until it’s ready for stone to be adhered to it. This process went […]

As I mentioned in my last post, the bridge installation, via crane, was set for last Friday. Everything was set in place and lined up. Last Tuesday/Wednesday we received over an inch of rain, with a rapid rise in temperatures, which lead to serious flooding to Walsh Lake. All of the snow melt, with no […]
