Hello from the golf shop. Summer is here and as always, the heat comes with it. We remind everyone at this time of year that you can’t drink enough water while playing golf. We want everyone to stay safe and if you’re not feeling well, quit.
Both courses will get two separate five to six weeks’ closures which will allow golf course maintenance to get much-needed work done, and give both courses the rest they need. Also, mark your calendars, both courses will be closed on August 24 and 25 for our yearly Curfew application for Nematodes.
Through April we have played over 51,000 rounds year-to-date. Thank you to Greg Kriesch and his staff for the outstanding playing conditions they have provided us with all year.
The Summer Reciprocal program has begun and runs through the end of October. You will notice that many of the clubs continue to raise their rates. As we see at HP, many clubs have more members staying year-round, and their members book the most desirable morning tee times. Please remember to give us multiple club options and a suitable time window as we try and book your requests. You can find a copy of the 2025 Reciprocal list on our Club website. The golf shop accepts reciprocal requests two weeks out, and we can book the times two days in advance. Please make sure that you carry your membership cards with you when you travel, and remember that you do represent Heritage Palms when playing these courses.
Please mark your calendar for the following summer club golf events:
• Monday, May 26: Memorial Day Scramble
• Friday, July 4: July 4th Scramble
• Monday, September 1: Labor Day Scramble
Also, this summer we are hosting two FSGA Golf events on June 12 and September 4. These events are open to all HP members with GHIN handicaps in our system. Registration for these events can be found online by going to FSGA.org.
I hope you all have a great summer of golf, and I look forward to seeing you out on the course.
