October 2020

Dear Members and Prospective Members,
          
First, we would like to say thank you! This has been a challenging year for all of us in one way or another. We appreciate your patience, cooperation and support as we navigated a difficult and ever-changing atmosphere this year. We feel very fortunate that golf continues to be such a great option for something that resembles normalcy right now. We will continue to do our part to provide a comfortable and safe environment for all to enjoy.

            Amid this pandemic, we have had an increase in new players, which kept the golf course busier at peak times than we have seen in recent years. We can not stress enough, the importance of tee times. A tee time ensures that we can socially distance separate groups and provide a sanitized golf cart for you upon arrival. Tee times can be made 14 days in advance by calling the pro-shop.

            As the temperatures begin to cool down, the growth of the grass will slow as well. This will allow the maintenance and grounds crew to focus on other projects. Some of the upcoming projects include leaf clean-up, installing a fence along the North end of the golf course, re-routing/repairing drainage on the back nine and repair and sealing of the parking lot.

            With an increase in new players came an increase in damage to both golf carts and the golf course. The increase also brought longer rounds and pace of play issues. All players have the following responsibilities to help ensure a great experience:

·        Repair your ball mark on the green (and any others that you see).

·        Fill or repair your divots in the fairways.

·        Rake bunkers after you have hit out of them.

·        Follow the instructions of the pro-shop in regard to starting hole and cart restrictions.

·        Maintain a maximum 4 hour and 20-minute pace of play for 18 holes.

·        If you see something (damage to greens or horseplay on carts), say something. Call the pro-shop and we will send a staff member out to address the issue.

 There will be a small increase to both daily fee and membership rates for 2021. Lock in the 2020 membership pricing by paying your membership in full no later than November 30, 2020. Membership pricing is as follows:

There is still a lot of great weather yet this year to get in a round or two. We thank you again for your continued loyalty and support. We are already looking forward to 2021.

Sincerely,

The Fehlinger Family
