Course conditions (10.31.2020) UPDATE

(UPDATE) 9:30am We are continuing to experience a heavy frost as current temperature is 32 degrees. This will force us to delay tee times beyond 10am. I will communicate with the pro shop as to when the frost lifts and temperatures rise. 

Course conditions (10.31.2020)

(UPDATE) 7:10am We will be in a frost delay this morning as the temperature has dropped 3 degrees to 31, tee times at 10am. If it can be any sooner I will communicate that with the pro shop. We are currently evaluating the courses to see if there is frost as temperatures are currently 34 degrees and will update as soon as possible on start times. We will remain with carts on paths with no exceptions. We did receive another .3 of rain yesterday morning.   Please use caution as you play through the courses as it is extremely wet.  Please assist us in replacing divots whether on tees or fairways as this is the most opportune time for recovery. Please repair ball marks. The range will be open with mats at both ends. Please continue to follow all social distancing policies and procedures. The weather calls for highs approaching the upper 40's with sunshine and winds 5-10mph out of the south.

Course Conditions (10.30.2020) & Weather Info

We have received an additional .6" of precipitation over the past 24 hours.  This amount on an already saturated course will force us to keep all cart traffic on paths, no exceptions.  We will begin the day with the driving range closed and reassess throughout the day and make changes if/when applicable.  We have experienced an abnormal amount of rain over the past 14 days (9")  and will continue to clear playing surfacing manually before we are able to get large equipment on turf.

We will be preparing the Devlin Course for member play today.

Today's forecast calls for cloudy with light rain this morning, temperatures in the low to mid 40s, winds out of the northwest at 5-10 mph.

There is a strong likelihood of a frost tomorrow morning, this frost very well may delay the first tee time.  We will continue to utilize this site as well as Zingle to communicate any change in start times with our membership.

In looking at the long range forecast:  we will have a few obstacles over the next 3-4 days in weather conditions.  We are looking at overnight temperatures in the 30s, frost, and the possibility of snow Sunday evening going into Monday morning.  With all of that being said: I am confident that we will be able to clear the course towards the end of next week with temperatures back in the 60s.

This morning we will be preparing the Devlin Course for a 10am shotgun and the Weiskopf Course for member play.  We will begin the day with carts on paths and evaluate the courses throughout the day and make changes if/when appropriate.  We did receive a trace amount of precipitation last evening which made an already wet course that much softer.  We ask that all golfers use caution as they make their way around the courses.

We will remain with carts on paths with no exceptions.  The weather calls for highs approaching 50 degrees.  James Dobbins

Course Conditions (10.24.2020)

Last evening we received .75" of precipitation, this amount will force us to keep all carts traffic on paths, no exceptions.  We are nearing 6" since Monday which hinders our ability to use heavy machinery to move leaves, we will be working this morning to make sure that we can clear off playing surfaces without causing damage to the turf.  This morning I will be checking the property for downed limbs and/or trees and will update the blog in the event of damage.

Ranges and practice areas are open and we ask that golfers please hit off of mats.

Today's forecast calls for cooler temps (mid 40s), cloudy skies, and winds out of the north at 10-15 mph.

This department will be working this fall to re-establish bunker edges throughout the Weiskopf Course, in doing so we will need our membership's help in this effort.  We have already seeded these areas and will look to re-sod other areas however it is crucial that golfers do not exit bunkers on the high or steep side of the hazards.  These steep bunker faces become fragile during the extreme dry periods that we experienced this past summer.

Thank you,

JA

Course Conditions (10.22.2020)

Last evening and into this morning we received an additional .8" of precipitation which will raise of total rainfall over the past 36 hours to 4.5".  We did have some light flood damage in the way of a few trees along creek banks and erosion around spillways and culverts.  We will begin the cleanup process today that will take time to complete.  We do ask that play remain on the Devlin Course so that we can continue to work through debris on the Weiskopf Course.

We will restrict all cart traffic to cart paths only, no exceptions.  Please do not pass other carts on the turf; with the excessive wet conditions of the courses this will cause unnecessary damage to turf.

We are presently experiencing rain showers that will taper off throughout the day, partly cloudy conditions later in the day with temperatures in the low 70s, light and variable winds.

One issue that can occur with flooding is silt being deposited on turf as the waters recede, we fought this on #7 green on the Devlin Course last season.  We did not have that happen to #7 during this rain event however we are monitoring the fairway on #4 of the Weiskopf Course.

JA 

Course Conditions (10.21.2020) UPDATE

10am:  We will be forced to keep both courses closed throughout the day as we allow the flooding to recede.  It appears as though we have some slight damage but nothing catastrophic.

8:30am:  3.5”

6:30am:

We have received 3” of precipitation thus far, we will continue to update this group and the blog with any damage and/or flooding.

Both courses and the ranges are closed until weather improves.

Today’s forecast calls for thunderstorms early than cloudy this afternoon, winds out of the southwest at 10-15 mph, temperatures in the mid/upper 60s.

We will continue to update this site with daily course conditions as well as pertinent information regarding the 2020 season and upcoming projects to ensure that the 2021 season is successful.  

We have heard our membership discuss the collars around greens and the inconsistency in turf types.  This is an issue that develops over time with the bentgrass greens spreading into the rough and the ryegrass rough moving into the collar.  In order to combat this we first chemically removed the unwanted grass and have begun the process of introducing seed to strengthen these areas.  In addition to seeding the collars with bentgrass, we also expanded our fall aerification to include collars and approaches.
