Winter Golf Course Set-Up To improve the quality and consistency of our golf course playing conditions, the Golf & Green Committee approved the following: Winter play course set up at ANCC will commence on or about 1 December and remain in effect until approximately 1 March. Only two sets of tee markers will be placed on each hole – one forward and one back. In many cases artificial mats will be placed on the teeing ground. When this option is utilized, all players should play from the mat and refrain from use of the grass teeing ground. We believe that this course of action will minimize winter damage, promote faster spring recovery and provide superior playing conditions during the golf season, generally March - October. The Committee thanks you for your support.
