grow out and be mowed off, but we need a significant temperature warm-up trend to promote turfgrass growth. We will remain on cart -path only restrictions until the warming trend happens. This constitutes a minimum of 5 consecutive days with the daily low temperatures being in the upper 50’s range. On the positive side, we have been receiving some decent precipitation, which is very beneficial for the course and property. Currently, I am putting the summer cultivation schedule together and will post it on the website and in the Pro-shop by the end of this month. In General, the golf course will be closed once a week on Wednesdays, all 18 holes, barring a few Pro Shop exceptions, beginning in May and ending October 1st. This will allow the golf course maintenance crew to accomplish the required cultivations procedures in a more efficient and uniform manner, while significantly increasing the volume of duties performed. This method of summer maintenance (all-day, 18-hole course closure) is standard-place at most golf course facilities. Happy golfing and hope to see you out on the course!
