3 WHAT S HAPPENING ON THE GOLF SIDE? PLEASE CHECK IN THE GOLF SHOP BEFORE TEEING OFF! We are tracking rounds played for many important reasons! The only change in how you check in is letting the golf shop staff know how many are in your group. Part of the golf shops job is to manage the first tee and to communicate to the players anything that may be happening on the course that could affect you; fertilizing, spraying chemicals, maintenance projects or anything else. We can t guarantee a great experience if we don t know you re out there! GETTING READY FOR SNOW DAYS!! We have our fingers crossed for playable weather! However, if we are covered in that pesky snow again, we have a plan! Rachel and Amy are working together to create some fun, indoor putting competitions complete with food and drinks and cash payouts!! You are also more than welcome to strap on your cross country skis or snow shoes and enjoy the course (as long as there is at least a 4 inch base of snow). Keep your eyes on the facebook pages and s for updates. PLAYING GOLF WHEN THE GOLF SHOP IS CLOSED AND NEED A GOLF CART? No problem!! Contact the golf shop the day before and we are happy to arrange to get a key for you!
