Flood Update

The golf course will reopen at 1pm on Saturday.
The driving range remains open for use from the mats.

We received a little over 6.5" of rain in the recent storm.  As of 9am most of the floodwaters have receded except for portions of the 5th, 9th and 10th holes.  We are currently utilizing pumps to expedite water removal and return the golf course to playable conditions as soon as possible. 



Snow is in the air this morning!  If you look close you can see some snowflakes on the 9th green.


Bunkers drain quickly, but the floodwater leave behind washouts around the perimeter and a layer of silt and debris.  This silt contamination must be removed before washouts are repaired and bunkers raked in preparation for play.  A labor intensive operation.


Pumps are utilized to expedite water removal.

View from the 5th tee at 9am.
