Recovery Continues….Slowly

Overall conditions on both courses remain very good. There are a few greens that will require some sod work as a result of the freeze, but overall we are pretty fortunate to only having to deal with those select areas. I’m going to give the …

Freeze Recovery Continues…

We are a month post arctic blast and both courses continue to make great strides. The crew has been working long hours during the recovery effort and we feel really good where we are at this point. Our main concern with this storm was obviously …

Post Uri Arctic Blast!!
