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.

Course Conditions (10.29.2020)

Last night we received another .1" of precipitation with more on the way as we experience the leading edge of Hurricane Zeta, rainfall could accumulate up to 1".  We will remain cart path only, no exceptions.

We will be forced to keep the range closed this morning due to the wet conditions, we will re-evaluate throughout the day and update this group and the blog with changes.

Today's forecast calls for rain throughout the day, temperatures in the upper 40s, winds out of the southwest at 5-10 mph.

In looking at the forecast over the next week: it appears as though we will stay in this wet stretch of weather through the weekend with a possibility of snow Sunday evening, the good news is that we should experience some dry weather towards the middle of next week.

Course Conditions (10.28.2020)

Last evening we received .25" of precipitation, this amount of rain will cause us to continue to keep carts on paths, no exceptions.  We will be preparing the Devlin Course for member play as the Weiskopf Course will remain closed throughout the day.  We ask that golfers exercise caution around the property due to wet conditions.

The practice greens and range are open but we do ask that members only hit off of mats.

Today's forecast calls for light rain this morning with breaks in the rain this afternoon, temperatures in the upper 40s, low 50s, winds out of the southwest at 5-10 mph.

As a reminder: portable bathrooms will be removed from the courses on Monday for the remainder of the season.

Course Conditions (10.26.2020) & Info

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.

Ranges and practice areas are open and we will be performing our range maintenance to both tees beginning at 10:30am and will reopen immediately afterwards.

Today's forecast calls for temperatures in the high 40s/low 50s, overcast skies, passing rain showers, and winds out of the northwest at 5-10 mph.

***This will be the last week that we have the portable bathrooms out on the courses, the bathrooms at the halfway house and the pool will remain open until we get into freezing temperatures.***

***Beginning Tuesday (10.27.2020) we will be alternating open courses so that we can keep up with leaf cleanup ahead of play.***
