Happy Holidays, Kevin Rhinehart News from the Course I would like to take a moment to thank the RHCC Board, RHCC Staff, and all of the wonderful members of RHCC for the warm welcome I received to the RHCC Family. Over the next few months, our staff will be working together to not only plan and prepare for the upcoming 2017 golf season, but to improve course conditions while keeping the course conditioned for winter play. I am sure many of you have seen the staff working hard on leaf removal, tree pruning, and aerification. I would like to take a moment to remind all of the golfers to be diligent when driving golf carts on the course. Please avoid thinned out areas and areas that are wet so we do not cause any further damage. On behalf of myself and the entire maintenance staff here at RHCC, please have a safe and enjoyable Holiday Season!! Kraig Binder, Golf Course Superintendent
