The Mountain Course opened last Saturday, but unfortunately, the string of rainy weekends continued. We’re optimistic that we’ll turn the corner soon—Memorial Day is shaping up to be the bright spot in the 10-day forecast, with sunshine and a high of 68°. We’ll take that!

The weather lately has not been cooperative and to ensure the health of the new turf, we will be limiting play to begin the season. Opening day has not been determined at this time, but once play begins in early June, tee times will run from 8:00am - 7:00pm with the exception of Monday & Wednesday for members and accompanied guests only.

We will expand available tee times as soon as conditions allow. and we will not allow any unaccompanied play until the course is ready.

The use of golf carts will also be delayed until we are sure the course can handle the traffic. 

Repairing ball marks on putting greens is a simple yet crucial responsibility for golfers to maintain optimal playing conditions. The correct method involves inserting a repair tool behind the mark and gently pushing the surrounding turf toward the center, avoiding any lifting or twisting that could harm the grass roots. Neglecting to fix these marks can lead to prolonged surface damage, affecting ball roll and inviting weed growth. Greens that frequently receive high, lofted shots—such as those on par-3 holes—are particularly susceptible, especially under soft conditions. Fortunately, almost any pointed object, like a golf tee, can effectively repair a ball mark when used properly. By promptly addressing your own ball marks and a few others nearby, you contribute significantly to the course's upkeep and the enjoyment of all players.

Due to unforeseen repair work, the Men’s and Ladies Healing Lodge Hot Tubs are out of order at this time.  We are hoping to have them back up and running by mid-July.  The outdoor Hot Tubs and One Spruce Peak Hot Tub are available for our members to enjoy.
