Click here to see a list of where our members have lottery times in 2023. There is also a list of players who want to be contacted if one of these groups has an opening.
As we have information about 2024 , we will post it here,
Important Milestones in the Golf Course Rennovation:
-
The course closed November 1, 2022. and they have had very good weather to work. Highlights of note:
-
November-December:
-
Removal of trees is completed. The picture updates in the gallery from November and December show the impact.
-
As they remove dirt, they are starting to build up the fairways (Hole 12 fairway has been covered with 12-18 inches of dirt). Jeff Werstak's pictures in the gallery from Dec 11 do a great job of showing how much they will raise the fairways.
-
-
January 2023:
-
The Lake is completed left of 17 (see Januray 16 contractor update)
-
-
Feb-March 2023:
-
soft conditions keep the work moving slowly
-
-
April -May 2023
-
The clay from digging the new lake on 17/18/15 is being used to form the goilf course. 12-24 inches of topsoil is placed over the clay.This will not be a flat golf course! Water will run off to lakes or drainage areas.
-
See the new bridge over the water on 12 in May 9 gallery pictures

-
June-July 2023
-
massive amounts of clay and dirt are being moved to create the new course

October 2023

-
Greens and faiways are being routinely mowed.
-
The 9 month grow in in well underway
-
Fencing was added at Boal Parkway entrance (Oct 11) and Bell Woods (Oct 12). This is to prevent damage that has been occuring with people/dogs on the course
-
work on the Par 3 course has been completed, but a little late.
-
Fencing is planned to be added near the 18th green and around the clubhouse.
-
-
November 2023
-
Both the 18 hole course and the Par 3 course are well into the grow in phase.
-
The fall weather has been great for the courses. The fairways, rough and greens are being cut on a regular basis. The irrigation system was drained early in the week of November 13; so now it is up the mother nature.
-
Nov 20: the weather has turned. Ground temperatures which have been over 50 are starting to drop, which will put be an end to the growing season.

Winter 2023-24

-
An ongoing problem is keeping people off the golf course. Residents continue to ignore the sigsn and walk th course, cross country ski , and worse. Please stay off teh course so it can mature.
