Welcome to the grounds blog for Calumet Country Club, the source of information related to the maintenance and improvement of the golf course. Check here often throughout the year to learn about the work we do to provide the membership with the best possible golf conditions, look at interesting pictures from the course, get updates on the upcoming and ongoing projects, and get information about course conditions.

First signs of spring.

Although there are still patches of snow on the golf course and some pretty big piles in the parking lot, some plants are beginning to get ready for spring.  The daffodils near the front drive of the club house are starting to poke out of the ground.  Hopefully everything else isn't far behind.


Another sign that I just noticed around lunchtime is the sound of Sandhill Cranes flying overhead.  They fly over this area in November and in March in their migration to and from Canada and Florida.  They typically fly at pretty high altitudes, so they probably wouldn't be noticed if it wasn't for their loud calls.  Take a look up at the sky next time you hear this sound.
