2024- Gate is OPEN, stay out of wet areas please.
The club purchased a mower, members can now volunteer to mow the grounds without having to bring equipment, if you would like to help keep the grounds a great place let us know so we can set you up for a orientation with Scott.
REMINDER:
Shut the gate after yourself going in and out, be sure to lock when you leave- please be sure the CODE is not left on the combination. Please be sure the flag is put away if you are the last person on the range. Also, when visiting the clubhouse pull shut and lock the door, double check prior to leaving as it was open and heat is expensive.
