Waterfall

The waterfall is fully functional now! We hope you enjoy this added feature in the lake on #18.

Need Firewood?

Even though the majority of golfers and the Pro Shop staff would probably disagree with me, there are some benefits of frost delays. One being, my staff is able to spend more time working around the shop working on things that we seem to never have time for when we are busy on the golf course. For example, chopping wood from the collection of trees from the golf course that have lived a nice long life and have moved on or from trees whose life was "cut" short from the storms and high winds we have had throughout the year. Bad news for them. However, it is good news for anyone who needs firewood. If you have any need for some firewood, let me know.

This what is left to chop.

This is the final resting place. Not all of this is from this year.  If you need firewood, come and get it!

Lake #18 Dredging and Erosion Repair

Due to the heavy rains and flooding that we had in December, we accumulated an enormous amount of silt in the Lake on Hole #18. Consequently, we were unable to finish the waterfall project that we had started. However, we have begun removing the silt and sludge from the lake and are dredging it to a depth of 4-5 feet. We are using the silt to build up the sides of the lake that have eroded over the years. After all of this is completed, we will then be able to install the pump that will be used for the waterfall. Thank you for your patience during this process as this might take a couple of weeks to complete.

Needless to say we will be playing Winter Rules today! By the way, the greens are stimping at a 1, so give it a good stroke!

Fairway Bunker Renovation

The fairway bunker renovation is well under way. We have actually completed six of the sixteen fairways bunkers bunkers that we are renovating. The renovation consists of removing the old sand, installing new drainage, installing a liner and replenishing with new sand. The sand we are using is consistent with the greenside bunkers. We are hoping to have this project completed by our deadline of December 15th.

Just a short note to let everyone know that your favorite tree on #9 has been removed.

Driving Range Improvements

In an effort to improve our practice facility and your overall driving range experience, we recently added three target greens and renovated the chipping area at the driving range. The three target greens are placed at 100yds, 125yds and 150yds from the teeing area.

On the chipping area, we enlarge the chipping green, decreased the size of the bunker and created a chipping area where golfers can practice chipping from fairway height and rough height turf conditions.
