Greetings from Bright's Creek,
Thank you for your continued support of Bright’s Creek. We are now offering a preferred golf rate for any guest you would like to sponsor but are unable to attend in person. Simply call the golf shop and request a tee time for your guests. If you are able to attend, we will offer your guests our accompanied golf rate. If you are not able to attend, we will offer your guests a preferred Member sponsor rate of $130, which includes greens fee and cart fees. If you have a group of 8 or more players, please contact Jessica Justice or AJ Fetsko for information about our group packages and rates.
The golf maintenance staff has begun fertilizing the fairways, tees, and rough. As soon as these areas have been fertilized, we will begin aerifying fairways with slicing tines. This process will take several days and will not be finished until late next week. As mentioned last week, this will have little to no impact on play.
Cicada wasps have re-emerged, and we have seen several burrowing into the bunker faces and the edges of greens. These wasps are large, black and yellow in color. They look dangerous but fortunately, they are not aggressive towards people. Cicada wasps catch cicadas, paralyze them with a sting and then bury them in sandy soils to serve as food. Unfortunately, our greens and bunker faces are their preferred nesting areas. When burrowing they leave large piles of sand on the greens that we must remove each morning before mowing. The wasp will also throw clay soil into our bunkers while digging in the bunker faces. There is no easy way to control these pests, and they will be evident on our course until the middle of September.
Regards and thank you for your support of the club,
Steve Alden | General Manager
