General Manager Scorecard

General Manager's Scorecard

Greetings from Bright’s Creek,

With the very cold weekend temperatures, the progress on the Bermuda grass coming out of dormancy has stopped. If the weather forecast doesn't change, we can expect to see the Bermuda grass slowly restart the green-up process over the next few weeks. We typically expect green up in our area by late April to early May depending upon the weather.

The stump grinding from the tree project is ongoing but has been delayed due to multiple problems with the rental equipment. We hope to have these issues resolved by early this week and continue with the project. It will take 3 to 4 weeks to grind the remaining stumps and some additional time to remove the stump material. Finally, last week we completed the pre-emergent treatment.

St. Patrick’s Day is this Thursday, and we will have a special golf event going on all day as well as a closest to the hole on #17. Please contact the golf shop for details, prize information, and tee times. We will also feature a St. Patrick’s Day-themed menu through Saturday.

With the warmer weather and days getting longer, our golf shop, practice area, and tee times have changed. The shop and range will open at 8:30 am Wednesday through Sunday. Tee times will start at 9:00 am. Our range will continue to close at 5:00 pm on Sundays. We use Sunday evening as a time to completely clear the range in advance of the golf maintenance team working on the range on Mondays.

In 2022, we will continue with our support of the Polk County High School golf team. The team uses the course for practice and an occasional practice round. Typically, this usage is late afternoon during the week.

Regards and thank you for your support of the club,

Steve Alden | General Manager
