Course Information

Besides mowing the golf course when conditions are favorable, we have completed several other tasks, including:

  • Vented greens.
  • Fertilized the fairways – tee and green surrounds with a granular fertilizer.
  • Sprayed fairways – tees and approaches for fusarium prevention.
  • Installed drainage between the blue and white tee complex on #18.
  • Picked up debris (from the windstorms) throughout the whole golf course.

The Men’s Club Volunteers raked and picked up pine needles, apples, pears, leaves, and debris throughout the golf course, and continue to remove Asp trees on the left of #9 and the right of #17 rough. We would like to personally “Thank All of You Volunteers” for your time and commitment in accomplishing all the tasks/projects in 2021.
