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 fantastic course was restored several years ago, and will showcase some of Raynor’s best work on a flat piece of land.

We just completed grooming the winter ski/walking trails on the front 9. With more snow on the way, we’ll plan to have both loops groomed by the weekend. Also, the deconstruction of the old bridge, and installation/construction of the new bridge has begun. The old bridge sections were removed today, and surprisingly, the concrete was […]

Last year, I read through and extracted details from the club’s minute books from 1919-1921. The minutes I pulled out, revolved around the creation of the club, Seth Raynor’s design, the implementation of that design, as well as anything I found significant/interesting. In this installment, I went through the minutes from 1922-1928. The Board met […]
