The idea is to keep the course clean and more presentable at all times. Interested members can adopt a hole for the 2019 golf season. If you adopt a hole, then we d ask you to patrol the hole a couple of times each week picking up trash, broken tees, and other debris left behind by careless golfers. We d also like you to check sandbunkers (for missing or broken rakes), ball washers, signage, and anything else that seems out of place. Most importantly, we d like you to walk the green and repair neglected pitch marks. Interested members should contact the golf shop to get a hole. 2018 Hole Adopters get first dibs on maintaining the hole they had last year. This is a great way to make a good golf course better. We will proudly display the names of hole adopters in the golf shop. We will also offer each person a small token of our appreciation at the end of the golf season. Please call or email the golf shop if you d be interested in helping. MEMBER COUPON Drake Creek Members get $10 per member off Cold Golf Warm Hearts Couples Scramble on April 13, 2019.
