Greetings from Bright’s Creek
The course spent most of last week covered in snow and ice but the warm weather this week should melt what remains. There were no adverse effects from the snow as far as turf health is concerned. Extended snow coverage does have the potential to encourage the growth of snow mold. Fortunately for us, this disease is rare in our area due to the lack of extended snow coverage. With the snow leaving, progress continues the tree removal project, with roughly 60% completed.
We expect to open at least the back nine tomorrow. It may take an extra day or two for the front nine to clear. The right-hand side of #8 and the tee boxes on #9 will take longer given the amount of shade in those areas. Temperatures are forecasted for 55 degrees today, which will aide in the course clearing and drying out.
The Club will resume normal hours this week including the pro shop and Member’s Grille. If you have questions about course conditions or anything else, please contact our concierge desk or the pro shop directly.
Despite the weather, 2022 has started out strong for us as we have welcomed six new members to the club. Interest in real estate and new home construction continues to build. There are two homes under construction right now with several more projects to start in the first half of this year. While work slowed over the past week, we continue to move forward on the Amenity Barn with the foundation outlines really starting to take place.
Regards and thank you for your support of the club,
Steve Alden | General Manager
