9-Hole Play Before 1 PM and Magellan Course Improvements
9-Hole Member Play Before 1 PM
The Golf Department would like to remind members of the current policy regarding 9-hole play before 1 PM.
- Members may call the golf course after 12 PM the day prior to play to request a 9-hole tee time before 1 PM. Approval for 9-hole play during this time will be based on course demand and overall tee sheet availability.
- When course demand is high, 9-hole play before 1 PM may only be allowed if the member pays the 18-hole green fee. In that situation, staff will charge the member a 9-hole cart fee instead of the full 18-hole cart fee.
- When player demand is lower, a 9-hole green fee and 9-hole cart fee may be allowed at the discretion of the course assistant professional or course manager.
- During the months of July and August, 9-hole play before 1 PM is allowed due to the excessive heat during that time of year. We appreciate members’ understanding as staff works to balance tee time availability, course demand, and member needs.
Magellan Course Improvement and Safety Projects
Several course improvement and safety projects are taking place at Magellan during aeration this week. Additional work will also take place June 16-18 to address several safety concerns on the front nine.
- The planned improvements include cart path repairs, dead tree removal, and drainage improvements. Several safety-related drainage issues will also be addressed, including areas around drainage basins on holes 4, 5, and 7, where erosion has occurred around the base of the covers.
- A larger drainage concern on hole 8 will also be repaired. In this area, water created an underground channel in the fairway that could have eventually collapsed if left unaddressed. This repair is being completed as a preventive safety measure and to protect the long-term condition of the golf course.
- Crews will also address erosion along the creek behind hole 4, where the cart path crosses, and erosion has occurred near the edge of the path. The creek will be cleaned out, and rip rap will be installed to improve water flow and help stabilize the area.
- In addition, the cart path crossings near the creek will be improved so carts can cross those areas more safely.
- Magellan will be open for play Saturday and Sunday, June 13 and 14, and is scheduled to reopen for normal play beginning June 19.
We appreciate everyone’s patience as these important improvements are completed. While projects like this can be temporarily inconvenient, they are necessary to improve safety, protect course conditions, and continue moving our golf facilities forward.
Respectfully,
Gary Porter
PGA of America Associate
Director of Golf
