2014 vs. 2016

The winter of 2015/2016 was much better for turf health and we're set up to have a nice start to the golfing season this year. We do not have an official opening day set at this time but it's not far away. The grounds department staff have been busy preparing the course for opening and we're excited to welcome everyone back soon.

Below are a few comparison photos from 2014 to now. I'm very thankful we had a nice winter and look forward to the season ahead!
