Important Reminders: Frost With the coming of colder temperatures we have begun the daily frost watch. Since the golf course is located in a valley next to the lake we often have frost even when others around the area do not. The golf course will remain closed each day until such time as the frost thaws enough to make playing safe for the turf. If you have an early tee time, you can call ahead to check on the day s conditions. Driving Range Packages Again this year Lake Valley will offer individual range passes for $100 and family passes for $175. This yearly pass is good for all the range balls you care to hit for 2013. If you like to practice or have decided that this is the year you are going to improve your game this offer is for you! Contact Dan or Andi to get signed up for this year. Golf Grip Replacement Have you checked your grips lately? This is the time of year to replace those worn grips and get ready for the coming golf season. Contact Dan or Andi and they will get you just the right grip and prepare your clubs for 2013. 2013 Golf Calendar Dates are quickly filling in for this year s golf schedule.
