Course Maintenance Update

One of our maintenance priorities in 2026 is to ensure the irrigation system is operating at its full potential. In the off-season we contracted for a full system audit to identify and plan to address any system deficiencies. This will be an ongoing project. As the weather breaks and the growing season begins, our course maintenance contractor will continue to address the conditions of the greens, with overseeding and plugging areas that need attention in addition to aeration, scheduled for April 20th. When you visit the course for the first time this season you will notice our new maintenance garage, additional stone along the pathways of the entrance area and alongside the putting green as well as new custom pin flags.
