Early Spring Golf Course Report

Apr 15

Spring has been rather slow to arrive, after a long winter season it would be nice to have a stretch of good weather. Snow remains present throughout the property, the areas with the most snow are located at 14,15,17, and 7. Hopefully some warm temperatures towards the end of the week as well as this weekend will get rid of most of what is left.

Welcome spring.

Spring is a time of renewal especially around the Club. You can actually feel the energy and excitement building as we get closer to our projected opening day of Friday, May 3rd.

As we embark upon the 2019 golf season there will be many new faces at the Club. One thing I know for certain is that our new members will receive a wonderful reception from the existing membership both on and off the course.
