Course Conditions (3.18.2020)

Members are invited to walk the Devlin Course beginning at 10am this morning.  The greens have had their spring aerification completed and have been rolled.  We are still performing some spring cleanup on some turf.

Today's forecast calls for temps in the upper 40s-low 50s with winds out of the southeast at 5-10 mph.  There is a 90% chance of precipitation starting later in the day.

Course Conditions (3.17-19.2020)

The Devlin Course is available for walkers to play through the green.

Carts will be available to play the Weiskopf Course beginning Friday.

Due to concerns with everything going on in the world we will not have water coolers available on either course.  We will also be without ballwashers to start the season; in order to limit hand to hand contact.

Please keep in mind that this is an extraordinary situation that we are all dealing with, I do not know that there is a perfect blueprint out there.  We cannot wait to have our membership out on the courses, the guys in our department have put in a great deal of work in the off-season to make improvements.  So I hope to see you all out there beginning this week; my Ma always told me that fresh air is good for you.

Charles Rates

This week we lost a member of our extended team, Charles Rates.  Charles had been a part of Quail Hollow C.C. since 2012 and was responsible for mowing approaches, raking bunkers, and making precision irrigation repairs.  I have included in this post a link to the announcement for Charles; please keep his family and friends in your thoughts.

Course Update

We will continue to allow play on the Devlin Course, walkers to the temporary greens for this week.  The Weiskopf Course is being prepped for play while it remains closed.  Our philosophy behind this is to have a more prepared product for our membership to enjoy.  We will have plenty of work ahead of us but are confident that our membership will be able to start the season off right.

Today (3.12.2020), we are performing our spring aerification on Devlin Course greens, continuing to clean playing surfaces on the Weiskopf Course, and topdressing some playing surfaces throughout the property.

Course Update (3.10.2020)

With the break in the weather we have been laying the groundwork for a great season.

On Monday, we addressed a few tees that stay wet during the spring and fall months.  We pulled cores on Devlin 8 & 14 in order to get air movement and we will follow up by throwing sand when the rain subsides and we dry up.

As we do every spring; we will start the year by throwing sand.  We lightly topdressed the Weiskopf Course and went a little heavier on the Devlin Course ahead of our March aerification.  With the sand down on Devlin we are ready to solid tine the greens.  As a reminder; our Weiskopf Aerification is scheduled for April 6-9.

Course Conditions (3.5.2020)

We still have frozen turf, even though the sun is out and there is snow in the forecast.

Course Conditions (3.4.2020)

I realize that members have recently been asking about the playability of the courses over the next few days and into this weekend.  Ground temps are currently slightly above freezing in the southern facing areas, temperatures in low laying areas are still below freezing.  The next 5 day forecast will calling for below freezing temperatures and the possibility of snow.

We will continue to update this site as the forecast becomes clearer.
