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. The golf courses have held up well during the peak traffic of season. Golf course maintenance continues to provide our members with first-class course conditions. Thank you to all members for doing their part to care for the courses during their rounds. Your efforts make a difference!
Stones in bunkers continue to be our biggest issue on our courses. This summer we’ll be doing a test bunker with a new bunker liner product to help combat this problem. If successful, we’ll look to install these liners in the future.
The driving range is scheduled to be renovated this summer. We’ll be re-doing drainage, re-grading, and re-grassing the entire range. As part of this project, we will also be setting up a more formal golf instruction area. We’re excited to get this done this summer and continue to improve the overall member golf experience.
There is still time to sign up for the Men’s & Ladies’ Club Championship/Presidents cup on April 5 and 6. Check with the golf shop for more details. Also, sign up is still open for the HPCO Charity Golf event on Sunday April 13.
We’re working on the Summer Reciprocal Club list which should be completed by the end of April. The Summer Reciprocal program runs May 1through October 31.
The normal credit book expiration policy is in effect. Any pro shop credit won in events prior to April 1, 2025, must be spent by April 30, 2025. Any credit won April 1and on will carry over to next season.
Our first summer course closure is scheduled for May 12. Both courses will receive their normal two 5-6 week closures this year, with 36 holes scheduled to be open in mid-October. Starting Thursday May 1, 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.
Safe travels to all who are heading north. We hope everyone has a great summer with family and friends!
