Wow, May and June went by fast. Really fast! Here’s an over due update on the course, common questions I’ve received, projects we’ve completed, as well as what’s ahead for our department. Our cultural practices on the playing surfaces, especially the greens, are showing their worth as we approach the summer months. We […]

Frost Delay
There is a frost delay this morning. At 30 degrees, it’s currently too cold to water off with the irrigation system. With the sunshine this morning, I predict we will be able to get on the course around 9:00-10:00am. Check with the Golf Shop for updates. Thanks for your patience.

We’ve groomed the winter sport trails today. Unfortunately the snow is becoming somewhat thin in areas from being blown around so you will notice we didn’t lay down a fresh classic cross country ski track.

The winter sports trails are open. This season hasn’t been the greatest for winter sports. Very little snow, a lot of wind and extremely cold weather has prevented us from grooming trails but if you enjoy being outside, seeing the golf course this time of year is wonderful. We have 3 trails groomed: 1 Classic Cross […]
