Watch your step!

Many times over the winter the attraction of golf balls in the creeks is a force that some can't resist.  As the foliage dies back and we on the staff clear the banks the temptation to chase old Titelists is too strong to ignore.  We want to warn the members of the perils that surround these areas,  they are very steep and have some gullies that look safe but are very deep.   Covered in vines to invite you to make the  perilous first step.  This picture shows the kind of dangers involved and the cautious tale to make sure you play in groups.  This could have ended in disaster, but with the help of fellow playing partners, thankfully no one was injured.  Winter golf can be enjoyable, please make it a safe round as well.

WGCC the beautiful

This picture was recently taken by one our long term staff members, Ronald Alvarez.  Not only does it highlight the beauty found around our course, but to me demonstrates how much our staff appreciate and enjoy the natural grandeur of our club.  This photo really exemplifies what we love about this property and the amazing beauty we get a chance to experience in the early hours of the day.



I'll let you guess where it was taken!

The irrigation project continues a slow march towards completion.  We still have around 24 working days left, but February typically has only around 10-13 good working days.  Holes 16-18 have yet to be completed along with some sporadic areas to finish, mostly outer rough we left for poor weather days.

We will start the ordering of sprinkler head yardages in the next few weeks.  The process of installing these is quite slow so expect that they all get installed before opening day.
