Aerification on Monday
Thank you to everybody who made June & July the busiest summer months we've had since we openend in February '04! I guess the word really got out about the specials we are offering, great course conditions, as well as the $1 beers on the course (I'm guessing they had SOMETHING to do with it!).
With summer almost over, that means aerification. We will be aerifying our golf course with 1/4" tines with a light top dress on the afternoon of 8/13. This maintenance procedure is necessary to help the golf course through the heat of the summer. During this time period we will be running some great specials.
After aerification is complete the golf course will be in phenominal shape until we overseed in October. Make sure to visit us soon and take advantage of great summer specials before they are over.

We make a tee time on Memorial Day for 6:40am. We were excited to play a nice course. When we showed up at the course, we were told they were having some problems with the greens on the front. They had a fungus and the greens were spotty in areas; however, they putted true. He went on to say the green on the back nine were in good condition. Unfortunately, neither of these statements was true.
When we started playing the course, the greens on the front had large spots of completely dead grass. Where the grass was not dead, they let the green grow extremely long and shaggy. When you putted the ball, it would go fast on the dead grass and come to almost dead stop on the long grass. It was terrible. But no fear, the man at the counter told us the greens on the back nine were in great shape.
When started the back nine, yes the greens did not have the fungus areas of the front nine but were allowed to grow for a multiple days. It had just rained the day before so green were so long I could have putted better on my bedspread. It was a complete disappointment.
After completing the round, we went back into the club house to complain. The person at the counter stuck to his story that the greens were not that bad on the back nine. I told them I don't think they had played them today because they were in terrible shape (All to no avail). I feel like I paid $50 to go to the driving range. The greens were so long that even chipping wasn’t of any practice.
At least when a course aerates the greens they warn you before hand when you are making the reservations and you can decide if you want to play the course of not. In this case, they did not warn us and the shape of the greens was worse than any aerated green I had ever played on. The management should be ashamed of themselves. I think it will be a long time before I play this course again.
