First Snow

We received our first snow of the season last night and old man winter is making an early return to much of the state. The weather forecast for the next ten days looks to be unseasonably cool with lake effect snowshowers. I would like to thank the entire grounds team for all their hard work this past week completing all our winter prep and winterization work, just in time for winters return! The golf course is going to bed in fantastic shape and readied for winters harsh conditions. 

Old Man Winter Returns

#3 Green

It wouldn't be April in SW Michigan without a light dusting of snow and bone chilling temperatures once again. With near 70 degree temps for the last few days, this sure is a shock to us and the turf. 

#14 Approach & Green

The greens have a light layer of snow and ice crystals on them but they appear to have held up well last night when temperatures dropped to the low 20's. 

The weather forecast is looking positive this week and the cold, winter like weather will only last a few days before temperatures return back to normal levels. It sure was nice to see a bunch of members out enjoying the golf course, beautiful warm weather and the Masters Tournament this past weekend!
