Course closing

Due to the upcoming weather forecast, which is calling for winter like temperatures and conditions,  the golf course will be closed to play beginning on Monday, November 25.  This will allow us to complete our winter preparations before winter sets in to make sure that the course will be in great shape in the spring!

Right now we are in the process of doing our final clean up of leaves, finishing our preventative snow mold fungicide applications, and continuing to clean up the branches and downed trees from last weekend's storm.  Next week, after the course is closed,  the greens will be buried in a layer of sand to protect the turf from drying winter winds and to help maintain a smooth putting surface in the spring.
