Storm Clean-up

It is hard to remember when 5 tornado warnings were occurring simultaneously across the Cincinnati metro area, it was an interesting night. The team and I were greeted this morning with plenty of clean-up across the property. Partners and volunteers were called upon to chip-in and help the grounds team. When everything was said and done the staff removed about 40 golf cart loads of debris and 2 trees were removed on 15 near the tee. Hyde Park Tree and Landscape will arrive early tomorrow to continue the removals on 15. Unfortunately, the hole will need to be closed until they are safely out of the way. 

Here are a few photos from the day.

Thank-you,

Renovations and Preparations for 2020

The fall season is here, overall the last 3 weeks have been great for golf. The recent renovations on the 3rd hole have been well received, with a lot of excellent questions being asked? The grounds team, once again did a great job with all of the work that was completed, we are very excited to showcase these efforts early next season. Our biggest challenge is to ensure the new sod on the tees is established as quickly as possible. The 3rd hole will open in early spring but a temporary teeing area will be employed for a short period of time to ensure the newly sodded turf areas are established to sustain all of the traffic.
