We’re under a frost delay this morning. A delay is never ideal, especially on a Friday, which is a big maintenance and golf day. This delay will affect the level of maintenance that we had planned in order to get players on the course. This frost also halts the turf recovery from winter damage. We […]

First Frost Delay
We will have our first frost delay of the season this morning. It will prevent us from our normal maintenance to the course in order to get everyone out playing as soon as possible. It’s difficult to know how long the delay will be until the sun comes up and the frost sets in. Come […]

It’s been a roller coaster winter, and just like we didn’t want, a few extra weeks of it. But Wednesday at 10:00, we can put all of that behind us, and kick off the season. The weather looks great, I hope you can join us! If you haven’t already heard, this winter was a tough […]

Update on the Centennial Bridge On Monday, Hartman Construction poured the floor of the bridge. A pump truck was brought in to reach the 55 foot span of the bridge, and now, the concrete will be left to cure for a week until it’s ready for stone to be adhered to it. This process went […]

A lot has happened since my last post on the bridge. All of the footing and abutment boxes have been set in place, precisely aligned, and at the exact elevations. The cement was then poured into the boxes. Luckily, the ice was so thick on Walsh Lake that we were able to drive […]

The goal of keeping the course open as long as possible, then complete as many technical projects before the ground freezes up, mirrors the craziness of a quick spring snow melt […]

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 […]

The weather for the past 4 weeks have been anything but ideal, it just won’t stop raining. Yesterday and into this morning, we’ve received another 1.5″ of rain. Unfortunately, carts will have to be kept off the course today. With having the sun so low in the sky, cold temperatures, and not even seeing the […]

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 […]
