Course Conditions (4.27.19)

Good morning,

Today we will continue to be cart path only, no blue flags, yesterday we received an additional .5" of precipitation.  For the past 14 days we have received 3.25" of rain.

Today's forecast calls for a high temperature of 48 degrees with winds at 15-20 mph out of the west; we will have mostly cloudy skies.  There is another strong likelihood of precipitation (in the form of rain and/or wet snow) this evening.

We are preparing the Weiskopf Course for the MGA Memorial which will start at 8:30am; the Devlin Course will have tee times off of #1.

Considering the wet conditions of the two courses, the golf course staff has worked to present both courses in the best possible light even through difficult circumstances.

Thank you,

JA

Course Conditions (4.26.19)

Good morning,

Last evening and into this morning we received .3" of rain; that puts our total for the past 2 weeks at 2.75".  Both courses are extremely soft and we will be forced to remain cart path only, no blue flags.  As always, we will continue to monitor playing conditions and make any necessary changes.

There is almost a certainty for rain throughout the day, totals can vary from .25"-.5", winds will be out of the west at 15-20 mph, the high temperature will be early in the day and near the mid 50s.

Thank you,

JA

Course conditions (4/25/19)

Good morning,We will begin today as cart path only throughout both courses. We are still extremely soft throughout the property and will continue to monitor conditions and make changes if/when applicable.   Today's forecast calls for temperatures in the low to mid 60s with winds out of the southwest at 5 mph. It appears likely that we will have wet conditions beginning tonight and going forward through tomorrow morning, rain totals could approach .75"-1". We will continue to mow out both courses ahead of any rain. Thank you, Jeffrey C.

Tournament volunteering

Last week we had the privledge of sharing our very own James Dobbins with the PGA Tour. James volunteered at the DAP Championship at Canterbury Golf Club and was able to network with area superintendents as they prepare a high end club for some of the best golfers in the world. Handling his responsibilities at Quail Hollow while helping out Canterbury is what makes James a huge asset for our club.

Course conditions 9/4/18

I hope that everyone has enjoyed the golf courses this season as much as we have had in preparing them for our members and guests. This year we have certainly had our peaks and valleys with regard to the weather and these recent hot temperatures in September are no different. Last Wednesday (8.29.18), we experienced a severe thunderstorm that dropped over 2" of rain in 90 minutes. This fast moving storm caused mild debris, washed down the sand in most bunkers, and flooded #7 green on Devlin(pictures included). We had staff on property during this storm to monitor and mitigate the damages. Most of the cleanup was completed within 48 after the storm and we were able to allow carts off of the paths after only one day. We have assembled quite a crew in this department and they take great pride in the presentation of our club. I hope to see you all out on the courses. Best wishes, Jeff Austin Director of Golf Course Maintanance Quail Hollow Country Club
