Every year, we aim to open the golf course around the middle of April (weather dependent) and we close the course to all pedestrian usage (walking, jogging, running, biking & pet walking). The reason for this is so that golf course staff can begin getting the entire property ready for the upcoming season. On any given day, staff is busy doing projects, construction, tree removal, spraying, fertilizing any many other tasks.
FOR YOUR SAFETY while we complete these tasks, the public is not allowed on the golf course.
We understand with the current situation that this is less than desirable - especially for those that live close by - and want to walk the property, however, this year is no different than any other year from a maintenance standpoint. While we have received a state mandate to keep the golf course closed to play 2 weeks longer than normal, we still have the same amount of necessary work to accomplish on the course prior to opening.
We have posted additional signage at all entrance points to the golf course and have asked the Police Department to assist us with enforcement. We ask for your cooperation and that you please view the golf course the same as you would any other year (closed to pedestrian use from April 1st - December 1st).
Thanks,
Toby S. Young,
Class A, Golf Course Superintendent
