Hello from the golf shop. It’s been a busy golf season with a full schedule of Club and League events that started last November. Weather was a challenge this year, with a colder than normal pattern. Big thanks to Greg Kriesch and his staff for giving us consistently great playing conditions. They have done a difficult job of maintaining our courses while working around 500+ rounds played daily. We genuinely appreciate all their efforts.
There is still time to sign up for the Men’s & Ladies’ Club Championship/President’s cup on April 11 and 12. Check with the Golf Shop for more details.
We’re working on the summer Reciprocal Club list, which should be completed by the end of April. The summer Reciprocal program runs May 1st through October 31st.
The normal credit book expiration policy is in effect. Any pro shop credit won in events prior to April 1, 2026, must be spent by April 30, 2026. Any credit won April 1 and on will carry over to next season.
The Royal course is scheduled for the first summer closure on May 11. With the Sabal Bunker Renovation Project happening this year, our summer closure schedule will be a little different. At this time, we plan to have Royal closed for 11 weeks, and then switching to a Sabal closure for the remainder of the summer. If the weather allows, and the project stays on schedule, we are shooting for October 12 to have both courses open for play.
Starting Saturday May 2, we’ll go to our summer schedule of 8 a.m. shotgun starts on Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday, with straight tee time the other days of the week.
Again, this year, we’ll be hosting the Hurricane Junior Golf Tour on May 2 and 3. Some of the best junior golfers in the country will be competing in a 36-hole event on the Royal course. HP will also be hosting two FSGA events this summer in June and September. These one-day events are open to all HP members with a registered GHIN number in our system. You can go to FSGA.ORG to register for these events.
Safe travel to all who are heading north, and we hope everyone has a great summer with family and friends!
