Golf Update

The green on hole #15 of the North Course is germinating at a rapid pace, and we expect to begin mowing in the next 10-14 days. The tee leveling work is completed and the plan is to have all of them open for play at the end of next week.

We will be opening the practice facility this Saturday, October 25. While both the East and West tees will be open, the artificial turf mats will be used on the West end for approximately two weeks to allow the newly seeded areas to mature. Also, The South Golf Course will open for play beginning October 28. The cart path only policy will be in effect for two weeks and your cooperation is greatly appreciated.

Finally, we are excited to inform you of a landscape program that gets underway on October 24. About 70,000 sq. ft. of turf will be removed, primarily involving the parking lot islands and the main drive, and replaced with a more sustainable, drought tolerant plant material and ground covering. The first phase will be spraying out the existing grasses, which will take on a yellow tint over the next several days. Each week we will update our progress to help keep you aware of what you see when entering and exiting the club. This project will greatly improve the appearance and overall conditions of the clubhouse grounds and aid in our water conservation efforts.
