  Celebrating our 40th season Returning to our Roots

Later this month a renovation project will start to our green surrounds.  It will focus on improving the green collars, return the bunkers to their original contours and improve drainage.  No greens will be closed during the project!

Check our website later this month for specific dates and more details.     
 

Everyone's A Resident On Tuesday

We will continue to consider everyone a resident on Tuesdays through August 26th.  Every Tuesday until 1:30pm, all golfers pay the 9 or 18 hole resident rates.  (seniors pay resident senior rates).  On top of that, the 18 hole cart fee will be $10.00.  Our Tuesday 18 hole fees with cart are:  $40.00,
$34.00 for seniors.

Golf Thought  

If you're afraid a full shot might reach the green while the foursome ahead of  you is putting out, you have two options:  you can immediately shank a lay-up or wait until the green is clear and top a ball halfway there.
