For the first time in I-don't-know-how-long, the golf course is officially open!

Okay, so it's only nine holes. Okay, so we're on temps for the day. Okay, it's rather cold with a breeze that makes it seem even colder. BUT...it's golf. Put your sweaters and toques to good use and come on out for a walk.
Good news: Most of the snow is gone on the front nine.

Not as good news: It's frosty and the greens are frozen.

More good news: The range will be open and we will have the front nine open on temps today. Hopefully, there won't be a long delay, but check back here or contact the pro shop for updates on tee times.

Due to snow last nite, we won't be open today!! Maybe tomorrow, we hope. Gord is getting bored, so we need members to come out and talk to him!!!
AAURGHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!....Just a light snow fall overnight. The course will not open on time this morning like we had hoped, yesterday. Mother nature has thrown us a curve ball. We will update conditions on the course as they improve so check back later for some (hopefully) good news. If you go out this morning be very careful driving as the roads are slushy and the vehicles are hydroplaning, if you travel too fast.

Well to all those people hoping for rain to wash the snow away, congratulations your wishes came true. It is raining and windy (can you say hurricane force) but the snow is still here. Another day or two yet before we can get on the course. Tie anything down that isn't bolted down because the wind is going to blow. Just to keep hopes up, there is a bit of green showing through the snow this morning. Another positive to the day. Where can a person buy a kite?

What a beautiful day March 1st is. NOT!!! Just wanting to show you all what I have been looking at since last Wednesday. As you can see it is going to be a few days yet. The restaurant opens today so come on out and enjoy a meal or coffee and welcome Andrea and Jen back.
It is still white out here, not even the driving range mats are showing yet. The forecast is for high (90 kph) winds out of the south today and rain starting later this afternoon so, hopefully the snow will go overnight and we can get back to normal around here. We will update the course conditions as they improve so visit the blog often and keep informed. The Nest will be open starting at 10:00 this morning so come and have a coffee or lunch. Enjoy your day.
