Winter Wonderland

Freezing cold temperatures and snow are the story so far this winter. With 6 - 10 more inches of snow expected this weekend, the 4 North pond wall installation is currently on hold for better weather. With that said, the grounds crew continues to tackle tree trimming around the entire property despite the snow cover and bitter cold temps. The North course is now half done and we will be tackling the West course soon.
