Now that we have recovered from our very successful late summer cultivation, we can look forward to some great September and October golf at the Mad. Fall provides some of the best golf of the season and we look forward to providing great conditions.
During the next week we will be wishing the best of luck to all of our summer students as they make their way back to schools throughout the province. We had a great group of young people again this season, we thank them for all their hard work, especially in the bunkers during this storm filled 2023 summer.
