With another 1″ plus of rain early this morning, we are delaying carts on the golf course. We will reevaluate the course at noon for cart usage for the remainder of the day. Thanks for your patience. Mike Manthey

Early 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 […]

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 […]

Snow is the best insulator to protect the fine turf against winter desiccation. At the course, ~12″ dropped last night, but even more […]

For you snow enthusiast out there, I feel your pain. This year has been less than stellar to get out and cross country ski and/or snowshoe. The few times we’ve had snow this year, it’s been so cold and windy that it hasn’t stayed in place. This week is no different. We attempted to groom […]

Winter officially starts this coming Thursday, but it feels like forever ago that we closed the golf course. The weather since closing has been filled with ups and downs, but regardless, our department has been very busy and productive. The process of closing down the course and getting things “winterized” was a marathon this Fall. […]
