April 1st

We have officially begun our "season" here at Jackson Hole Golf & Tennis Club, even with snow still hanging on.  We had our first seasonal staff arrive today and began cleaning up from a long winter.  All greens are clear of snow and below is a picture of #7.  Looks really good considering it was covered in ice for the last 30-40 days under snow.  We are confident our efforts removing the snow, throwing black sand and breaking up ice this spring has left the greens in good shape.  Now we just need some decent temperatures to get it all growing again.

We have pulled the cross country signage around the course and we are closing the trail for the season.  There are areas that are free of snow and it is getting thin enough that we don't want to set any new tracks as we get into another freeze thaw cycle this time of year.  We hope everyone enjoyed the use of the track this winter.  The course will be off limits as the snow melts between now and the course opening.  This is the time of year, with a tremendous amount of moisture and standing water as the snow melts, that compaction becomes an even bigger issue than we already face with our 50 year old golf course.  We appreciate everyone using the bike path and surrounding neighborhoods to recreate and not venturing on the course.

Have a great day!
