OPEN TOMORROW: GRASS TEES AND COURSE

GRASS TEES:
Tokens will stop being sold 30 minutes before closing
New this year, the Grass Tees will now be closed every Tuesday throughout the season. This weekly closure gives our landscape team time to address maintenance needs and allows the turf to rest and recover.

9-HOLE COURSE:
Tee times for the course can be booked online.

Course Schedule This Week
Wednesday: Open as usual

Thursday: Delayed opening until 12pm due to DryJect work on the greens (a process that injects sand to promote healthier growth)

Friday: Open during the day; Night Golf will be weather‑dependent

We are happy to announce the Range is back OPEN! While the course remains closed due to flooding, the Short Game area will be open.

Thanks to the hard work of our staff the last couple days, we have recovered lots of the golf balls that had been in the hard to reach areas, and where we could not get our range picker to during the flooding. We appreciate everyones patience and can't wait to see you back!
