May has arrived—and with it, some of the best golf weather of the year! We’re dialing in mowing, grooming, and detail work across the property to keep the course looking and playing at its best as we move into peak season. The course is waking up beautifully, and thanks to all the hard work from our team, it's in outstanding condition and only getting better each day.
Greens are rolling true, fairways are dialed in, and the flowers will soon be popping around the clubhouse—just in time for the heart of the season. Whether you’re sharpening your game on the range, playing a quick nine, or teeing it up for one of our upcoming events, now is the time to get out and enjoy it.
We’ve got an exciting month ahead with full tee sheets, competitive events, and plenty of opportunity to play your best golf and racquet sport. Be sure to check the calendar, grab your regular foursome, and make the most of every round.
Yours For Better Turf,
Brent Peveich GCS

Racquet Sports Update
We’re also stepping into peak season on the courts and keeping all racquet sport facilities in top shape:
-
Tennis Courts:
Watered, rolled, brushed, and lined daily.
Bi-weekly calcium applications are being added to improve moisture retention and ensure surface consistency. -
Pickleball Courts:
Blown and cleaned every morning to maintain playability and appearance. -
Padel Courts:
Fully ready for play. A sand topdressing will be applied to help firm up the surface and support faster, more consistent play. All walkways will be addressed daily and adjustments are in the process to ensure less washing Har-tru found on walkways from nightly waterings and rain events builds over time.
