Cart Use Policy

In Conjunction with your Green Committee and Executive golf, we wish to advise all golf members of our decision to discontinue the "Red Flag" policy previously available for select individuals.
Our Green Committee along with our Golf Course Superintendent and Golf Professional staff have reconfigured all GREEN cart exit posts on our golf course to make for easier access to all areas of the golf course. This change will take effect immediately. If you find some areas difficult to navigate, then we ask you to refer to the pro shop who will be readily available to discuss alternatives with you.
Please also be aware of the NEW Cart Policy posted on all golf carts. We ask you to strictly adhere to the Cart Rules and ask that all transgressions be reported to the Pro Shop. There are serious repercussions to those who do not wish to follow the Cart Rules, so please read the Cart Rules and be familiar with them.
Thank You,
The Board of Directors

The Cart Rules are as follows

Cart paths must be used where available
Cart Paths only on all Par 3's
All four wheels of the cart should be on the path around all tees and greens
All power carts must leave the fairway at or before the designated GREEN exit posts, at the side of which the GREEN exit post is located
All cart users must heed the daily verbal directions of the starters
Pull carts and electronic caddies should not be taken between greenside bunkers and greens. (You may go between the trap and green on the right of #2)

Failure to comply with these rules may result in the following:
1st offence- Warning
2nd offence- one (1) week cart privilege suspension
3rd offence- three (3) week cart privilege suspension
4th offence- total revocation of all cart privilege

In order to self police this situation, we require that everyone please report any and all cart abuse situations to the Pro Shop.

The Practice Range Tee

Last fall we utilized a “new to us” method of revitilization for our practice tee. Our contractor TDS,  fraize mowed the surface of the tee to remove organic matter as well at to aid in leveling. The tee was then aerified and seeded to a new variety of creeping rye grass. We chose this type of turf grass as research  shows rapid recovery and a low growth habit. We were able to get some great growth in the fall, but the tee is still not ready for traffic and full use. The plan is to utilize the mats until growth has filled in some of the voids etc. We will then begin to slowly set up hitting areas on the grass tee. For a while we will alternate between grass and the mats with a 50/50 ratio of use. Once the grass tee is established and is in adequate recovery mode, the practice areas will be back to normal. As always our membership’s patience is appreciated as we try to improve these areas for use.

Venting Greens...

This week we will be venting our greens with needle tines. These tines make a hole that is less than an 1/8th of inch. With our greens being completely saturated from the incredible amount of rain that we have recieved this season, there is no room for air movement in the soil. We need to create very small channels for air movement to the root zone. When roots don't have air, they die. This has not been evident yet, but with the warmer temperatures of July upon us soon, trouble could be lurking. This will be a very non-disruptive process to our members and play. We are going to vent all of our greens over then next few days early in the morning as to not disrupt play. The process is simple, we vent the green using the aerifier and needle tines, roll them smooth and then mow the green. The holes virtually dissapear and are of no effect to roll. I realize that the word aerifier starts to scare people, but this is necessary and again is very clean and non-disruptive. Check out the pic...
