- The golf course will open on Saturday, September 30.
- Golf maintenance will fill divots on all tee boxes, residents can fill divots in all other locations. Only sand will be provided as the majority of the course is not overseeded, with the exception of select tee boxes.
- The fairways, greens, and non-overseeded tees will be painted beginning October 11/13. Paint will be applied every 3 weeks afterward until the course comes out of dormancy in the spring. On painting days the first tee time will be delayed one hour to allow time for the paint to dry.
- Due to the destructive nature of cart traffic on dormant turf, we request that golfers reduce the amount of cart driving on the turf, and pair up two golfers to a cart, regardless of handicap flag usage.
- The range tee will remain on the mat for 2-3 weeks to allow the overseeded tee to mature and be prepared to handle the heavy traffic expected this winter.
- The cutting height of all turf will be higher in order to prepare for the flattening effect as the turf goes dormant. The turf growth has already slowed down, and the turf will become fully dormant after the first hard frost.
- The first tee time will move to 7:15 on October 15, and will move 15 minutes later every 15 days until reaching 8:00 on December 1.
