Course Update -- Winter Golf

It's that time of year when turf growth has ceased and carts must be restricted to the path.  Cart traffic will injure and thin turf during periods of reduced growth because the plant's natural defense mechanisms are not functioning.  The same holds true for foot traffic, especially in confined access points around greens and tees.  That's the reason our winter hole locations on greens are close to the areas players tend to walk on and off from.  Limiting the amount of unnecessary foot traffic across the greens allows for a better putting surface in the spring.  Speaking of tees, all of the tee equipment has been taken off the course to be refurbished, except for one set of markers placed in areas that do not experience much play during the season.  We do this because divots will not heal this time of year, and these concentrated teeing areas are less noticeable in the spring as compared to moving the markers around.  If you are out playing this winter we ask that you only hit from the designated teeing area, and please understand we implement these practices to provide you with the best possible conditions next season.
