The Club has bought some smaller sand bottles for walkers that can be refilled on the course. Ask for one when you check in. Those in carts should consider taking 3 or 4 full-sized sand bottles with them to use and refill at the sand refilling stations located throughout the courses. calling ahead to order from Stars & Stripes at (571) 482-5983 when you’re making the turn.

10 THINGS TO KNOW AS THE GOLF SEASON GETS UNDERWAY Here are 10 thingsto take into account to improve the golf experience for you and your fellow members: 1. The Fairfax course will be back to a full 27 holes in mid-April with the completion of the fairway conversion to bentgrass. It is imperative that we all diligently replace our divots and use sand to even out the area. The bentgrass divot will re-root itself within a day or so. 2. At Arlington, DO NOT replace the Bermuda fairway divots, use sand to fill the divot. The Bermuda grass grows laterally and will quickly repair its own divot. 3. When preparing to play from a bunker, always enter it from the low side. How you rake the bunker depends on which course you’re playing: - At Arlington, rake and then smooth out the surface with the rounded side of the rake. - At Fairfax, rake with the tine side down as you normally would. At both courses, leave rakes outside the bunker. 4. All golfers MUST check in with the pro shop before play. This includes ALL dew sweepers. Please keep your current ANCC bag tag visible when on the course and the range.
