Closing down the Greens

 
On Monday December 10th, the "Greens" will be closed.  We will be moving the flags to their temporary positions on the approaches.  The golf course will remain open to those who would like to come out for some exercise and play winter golf.  The greens crew will be putting down a heavy topdressing and staking off the greens starting next week.  It has been a tremendous golf year, that opened up in March and finished in December.  We would like to thank all the support of the membership through the 2012 golf season, and are already looking forward to 2013.

The greens crew has been busy on the course as well as overseeing the renovation of #2 and #3 Tee areas. With the design of C.W. Golf Architecture and contractor Eagle Golf Construction we were able to finish the transformation of these 2 areas during November. Below are some pictures of #2 tee from start to finish.
