We were scheduled to open the golf course tomorrow, but with the 3″ of snow we received Monday morning, and the forecasted 1-2″ of snow tonight, opening day will obviously be delayed. We will make a decision on […]

Spring has sprung! I wasn’t exactly imagining it would come this fast, but after the winter we had, it’s more than welcomed. As of this morning, there are only small pockets of snow on the ground, mostly in bunkers and on North facing slopes. It’s easy to get excited about the Spring golf season and we look to be […]
