Over looking the 9th green on the East course. Although we have not had any rain, fertilization and warm weather has helped in the appearance of the course.

Renovation of # 2 Tee on the West Course
The 2nd tee on the West course has always posed a challenge with the tee shot as you do not have a view of any target. Construction will begin this week on renovating the tee so there will be a visible view of the green on this short par 4. It will involve some grading and elevations changes to the tee along with some brush clearance to obtain a better angle and view for the tee shot. For progress photos and updates, you can view them on this post as they are made.

Addition of a new cart path to # 8 Tee Masters course
On Monday January 20, construction began on adding a new cart path to the 8th tee on the east course. Currently many players are driving through the native area to get to the tee rather than using the stairs, so we decided to add the path for every ones convenience. For further progress photos and information they will be added to this post as construction continues
