We've finally made it to opening day. What an early spring it has been. Our staff and I have been busy, busy trying to get the course in shape for an early start. This will be 2nd earliest opening we've had in the last 7-8 years, certainly nothing like 2011 when we opened around May 15th and still had snow on the course this time of year.
The course is still a work in progress. The bunkers will be treated as ground under repair until we have a chance to get in and really clean them. The mouse/vole damage clean up has gone really well, there is just a tremendous amount of it this year.
We are so excited to get the season started and can't wait to see everyone out there. Just a friendly reminder from our department to stay on cart paths where available and do not drive in approaches or green surrounds. Keep an eye out for wildlife as there are moose, elk and deer moving around the course. No bison yet, we will update the sight if they make it to the course this spring. Have a great weekend.
Tip of the week: When you are filling divots on tee boxes and fairways, be sure and fill the divot completely with sand and flatten the sand with your foot. This will keep tees and fairways as level as possible and improve the healing process.
