Golf Course Update

Weeks 3,4 and 5 of the North Course closure have come to an end. The past three weeks have been spent getting the golf course back in condition for opening. Due to the lack of rain in July, we have decided to push the North Course opening back until August 6th to give it proper time to recover from our maintenance practices. We anticipate opening the North Course in very good condition.

July started out very well in terms of rainfall, as we picked up almost 2 inches the first two days. From that point forward, it has been extremely dry. We have recorded an average of .40" of rain throughout the property since that time. During this time of year, we lose close to .25" of water in the soil per day through Evapotranspiration (ET). We really count on the summer rains to help push us through the hot weather, and to also replenish our lakes on property. The good news is that there are still a couple months remaining in the rainy season that could provide more than adequate rainfall.
