Keep Dogs Away From Wildlife |
|
|
|
Now that the golf course is officially closed for the season, responsible winter traffic is permitted. Residents should stay off greens and out of bunkers. It is also imperative that you keep your dogs leashed at all times and be sure pick up after your pet!
We have received feedback from RVR homeowners concerning dogs chasing our resident mule deer on the course. We implore homeowners to keep their pets away from the local wildlife and don’t forget — Carbondale’s leash laws apply in RVR.
