Cold Weather and Frost Delay Policy
1. Maintenance will notify Pro Shop of a frost and will give an approximate time of first tee time.
2. Driving range will be open before the first
3. The putting green, #1 tee, and #10 tee will be closed until Maintenance calls The Pro Shop with a time. Gates on the course will remain closed.
4. The putting green, #1, and #11 greens are the last greens to thaw out. There will be no golfers allowed on the back 9 or allowed to skip these holes.
5. Maintenance needs a 3 hole head start to get ahead and stay ahead of the first group of golfers. This is about a 30 - 45 minute head start.
6. Of it appears that a frost is likely within the next few days, Maintenance will notify the Pro Shop in order to make tee time arrangements or cancellations.
7. Covering greens - General rule of thumb that Maintenance follows: Temperatures falling into the 20s and not getting out of the 40s the following day(s) will result in covering the greens starting the morning before the low temperatures. Greens covers will be removed after the frost melts on the first possible day following the cold. Tee times will need to be cancelled for the day that greens covering begins. Uncovering greens will take approximately 4 hours. Maintenance will give an approximate time to the Pro Shop for the first tee to open.
**It's always a great idea to call before coming out!
