We are one week away from our main summer closure. We will close the course Monday July 28th and re-open on Tuesday August 13th. So far this summer the weather has been fairly cooperative. It has been hot and we have had our fair share of downpours but the majority of the rain has fallen in the afternoon so we have been able to accomplish our daily tasks. As I’ve previously said, the irrigation system is continuing to deteriorate and has given us the biggest challenges due to breaches and leaks in the pipes. Our new Superintendent Eric Simpson told me prior to working here he had just two mainline repairs in his entire 10 year career. He now has added 7 to that list just since his arrival in late May. The afternoon showers have definitely been welcome to take the load off our irrigation lines. Despite the irrigation issues the course is still lush. The turf is extremely healthy and ready for the aerifications planned next week. We recently sprayed a new wall to wall herbicide which has already shown a significant decrease in weed populations. We have been aggressively spraying weeds prior to closure to ensure that we aren’t spreading any weed populations as we punch and clean. There are several areas were the weeds have shriveled. The areas may look bare, but after aerifications they will quickly heal.

Hello,
The food and beverage department is now preparing for our annual
cleaning. We will be closing on Monday, July 29th, until August 7th. During this time our team members will be deep cleaning the kitchen, walk in coolers, and freezers. We will also be inventorying all of our small wares, and deep cleaning our service areas and bars. Shortly after opening we will be introducing our new menu items with additional appetizers, and a few new lunch and dinner entree’s as well. We look forward to seeing you soon. As always, thank you!
