Golf magazine recently reached out to Midland, asking about our course restoration. One of their writers, Josh Berhow, had found the story about finding our Seth Raynor map, through my Twitter feed, and thought it would make an interesting article right before the holidays, as they are trying to cover more topics of golf course […]

Today we are starting the seeding process to the Fairway expansions on the back 9, and we need everyone’s help. We need carts to not drive through them, as once the seed germinates early next week, cart traffic will kill the young seedlings. The success of this process will really depend on your cooperation. On […]

On Monday, the golf course Master Plan work begins. #1 and 5 greens will go to temporaries in their fairways. You will see Hartman Constrution, along with our staff, begin the labor-intensive demo process. Because of design changes, both of these greens need a large amount of soil hauled to them. That soil will come […]

The rain is supposed to come down most of the day, so we will evaluate carts for Monday, tomorrow morning. If you […]

We’ll be under another frost delay this morning. If you have a morning tee time, check in with the golf shop for updates. If you played yesterday, you saw our staff aerifying the fairway expansions. This process is hand-labor and time consuming, as well as very dusty. Remember, the golf course was supposed to be […]

We’ll be on our first frost delay of the Spring this morning. Hopefully it lifts quickly and has little effect on tee times. The night time temperatures have continued to dip into the 30’s this week, delaying recovery of many areas of the golf course – a few select greens, divots germinating, and the rough […]

The 2020 golf season is underway. By no means is it a normal start, but one with several adaptations. Typically we have several weeks to prepare for opening day, but with the weather, and stay at home orders, this season’s start was anything but normal. If you haven’t played your first round of the year […]
