2022 Master Plan Review
We’re in the middle of the doldrums of winter, so it’s a nice time to see some pictures of green grass, with a trip back to the Fall of 2022. A significant difference in the 2020 Master Plan project to the 2022 project, was that we kept all holes open during construction. It was a […]

After several days of snow removal in the parking lot and clubhouse roof, we’ve finally been able to put a fresh groom on the winter trails. The 12″++ of fresh snow finally gave us a good base to produce a good product. Again, please stay on the trails, as they prevent any traffic on shortgrass […]

As there continues to be questions regarding this Fall’s Master Plan work, I am putting the same information that was physically mailed to all members in March, on the blog, as it should be a helpful reminder of the scope of work, and to eliminate any misinformation. Please feel free to reach out with questions […]
