In anticipation of the Provincial government permitting a return to golf earlier than May 20th lockdown end date, we plan to open the tee sheet early in the event we are only provided 24-48 hours notice as we experienced last year.

One of the most asked questions on the lesson tee is whether a player should be custom fit for their new set of golf clubs they are considering, and the answer is yes.

Hi All,
We are in the hurry up, stay safe and wait mode. We will be out there soon!
In the meantime, it’s a good time to spring clean your golf bag, clean your golf shoes, stock up on bug spray, sun screen and masks. Sign one of the new petitions supporting return to golf. Every little bit helps!

Happy spring!
A brief memo from the Accounting department to
Associate and Intermediate members
Due to the flexibility the club affords our family associates to join or leave each year. Our auditors have recommended we change our practice of automatically billing until we are advised by the Equity member which associates will be returning.
The club included the enrollment form in the January billing to the equity member. Please complete and return this form, or send an email advising us how you would like to proceed.
Until the account is activated each year, you will be unable to book tee times.
If you have any questions, or require an enrollment form, please do not hesitate to contact;
Trish Carman – [email protected]
Or
Kathi Brown – [email protected]
We look forward to seeing you again!

We are all looking forward to enjoying the summer on the course and we look forward to meeting you all.
