It's amazing what a week of 50's and sunshine will do for snow melt. Last weekend the course was 90% covered with snow...today all that's left are some north facing piles and the majority of the bunkers still have snow in them. The course is extremely wet and it looks like the weather is going to be wet and cool into early next week. We will be limited in the amount of work we can get done on the course until things dry out and will be treading lightly as this is the time of year that travel on the course really adds to compaction issues. At this point we are thinking an April 27th opening is certainly achievable..granted we don't have an extended return to winter. Between now and then the course will remain closed to pedestrian traffic. For those of you around the course that are tied into our irrigation system, we will be charging the system in the next week or two and will be opening homeowner valves shortly thereafter.
The media department from Grand Teton National Park released a statement last week regarding the spring migration of animals around the area.."Animals are typically weakened from the rigors of a Jackson Hole winter and may be forced to use precious energy whenever startled or disturbed by the presence of vehicles and humans on foot or bicycle. All visitors and local residents should keep their distance from all wildlife...". There are several bison meandering around the edges of the property and the elk are making their way up from the refuge in large numbers. In addition, the mountain lions that killed a dog have been spotted on the fringes of the golf course..just west of #13 and northwest of #17. Please be alert around the area and in your travels. Keep tuning in for further updates on the course and potential opening.
