Course Conditions

Thursday, July 25th  

Play goes off both tees this morning and staff is working hard to blow off playing surfaces following last nights wind. The cooler temperature is a welcome reprieve from the long heat stretch we just went through. Watch for staff handwatering as we begin to recover turf that didn’t fare well through the drought and heatwave over the past several weeks.</span<>

Greens Today

• Mow – Yes
• Roll – Yes

• Speed – 10′ 7″ (6:00)

• All naturalized areas of the golf course are considered lateral hazards. Cart access to these areas is restricted.
• All paths that were previously roped off to restrict carts from fairways are now open. For those in carts with blue flags for medical exemptions, please do your best to scatter your traffic patterns from day to day so you’re not continually wearing out the same area with your wheels, especially around greens and tees. No golf cart should ever drive between a green and a bunker, for example, left of 2 green or left of 12 green. If wear becomes excessive, ropes and stakes will be put back in place to restrict all traffic. Please do your part to help us improve the course conditions.

Lastly, here are a few small things that every member could do that have a big impact on course conditions. Keep all four wheels on the cart path, especially when parking at tees and greens. Repair a couple of ball marks per green. Replace a few divots per fairway. Remind your playing partners and guests to do the same.
