GOLF COURSE UPDATE 3/24/17

With the snow continuing to melt, rain this weekend, and our crew finally having the opportunity to get on the golf course next week, we will officially open for carts to greens Friday 3/31. This weekend all practice facilities will be open along with walkers to all putting greens starting Saturday 3/25. Our staff will be working around the rain next week preparing bunkers, cleaning tree debris, and seasonal aeration to begin what is going to be another great golf season.
