Our Assistant Brian Richert just finished grooming the ski trails, but only on the back nine. With the wind that came with the snow yesterday, many areas are bare, and the front nine didn’t have enough snow to groom. But it’s a start, and we’d love to see you come out and use the course. […]

The End
The end of the 2018 golf season is here. The last day of golf will be this Sunday, November 4th. With the forecast next week, of high winds, and highs in the 30’s, it will take us at least 2 weeks to get our winter preparations completed. I was hoping for a longer fall golf season but […]
Continue readingFrost Forewarning
This is slightly early in the season for frost delays, but not out of the norm. However, everything is aligning for a frost delay tomorrow morning, Saturday September 29th. We’ve just been put under a freeze warning by the National Weather Service, which means if you have any annual flowers, or vegetables, etc., that you’d […]

After receiving over 3″ of rain yesterday and a weekly total of 4.2″, the golf course is flooded in all low areas. There will be no carts at this time. A decision on carts for this afternoon will be made at noon. We are going to do everything in our abilities to get things restored […]

There has been much discussion regarding the deep roughs that we have traditionally called “natives” and “fescues”. There’s a reason why we have both, and there seems to be some misinformation out there regarding them, so I’ll attempt to create some clarity. First, what is a Native? Native grasses between 15 and 16 Natives are […]

This week, it gets even better, as the inaugural US Women’s Senior Open is taking place at Chicago Golf Club. Chicago was the first 18 hole golf course in the […]

I’m not one to watch much television, especially during the second week of July, but I always put this week’s PGA Tour stop on my DVR for viewing once the snow flies. A Military Tribute at The Greenbrier’s final round today is at the Old White Course, which was originally designed in 1914 by C.B. […]
Continue readingEarly Summer Update
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. Yes, its June, but our progress on fine tuning the property, and especially the turf itself, is a good reminder that […]
Continue readingSpring Update
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 […]
Continue readingTemplate Holes
Template Holes So it looks like we have some more time on our hands before the golf season starts! I know its frustrating. Everyone is all geared up and ready, and all we can do is look out the window and hope this weather finally takes a turn for the better. In the meantime, I […]
