It’s been 2+ months since the golf course has closed, wow! Our department may have had the busiest late fall season I can remember.

Even though we’ve only been open for a month, I’m calling this the “early summer” update. It’s been very difficult to remind myself, and others, that we’ve only been playing golf for 30 days.

We’ve finally ditched hibernation, the 2018 golf season is about to begin! I don’t need to tell you that this year has been anything but ordinary. Yes, the golf course will open almost a month later than last year, but lets focus on the positives, and what you’ll see in your first few rounds at […]

After a long morning of removing snow from the parking lot and around the clubhouse, we’ve just set new tracks for the winter ski/walking trails. With warmer temps and wonderful sunshine, it should be a great week to come out and enjoy! Mike Manthey
