Course Conditions

The Short Grass Scoop

Amos Stephens / Superintendent May 24 2026

We see sunshine and warmer temperatures on the horizon, according to those whose forecasts we rely on. After a long, slow spring, the golf course is finally positioned to take full advantage of some welcome weather.

The greens have been uncovered, and the results speak for themselves. Every hole now has a uniform green hue, ready to receive golf shots once again. As I write this update, we are mowing fairways for the first time this season. Progress is being made every day.

There are still signs of early spring conditions throughout the property, but things are changing quickly. As conditions continue to improve, we will also be preparing to resume the drainage rebuild project on holes 6 and 7. We don't have a firm start date yet, but that work will be underway again soon.

We are also continuing work on the tee expansion on Hole 3, and the new tee on Hole 8 has been seeded and is already beginning to green up nicely. These improvements will go a long way toward helping us better manage divots and tee wear moving forward.

There is still plenty of work ahead, but we are encouraged by what we are seeing. Summer weather can't arrive soon enough, it feels like it's been a long time coming.
