In an effort to allow the greens on the front nine of the North Course to recover from a difficult winter we will be starting all 9 hole and 18 hole play on the #10 tee. Based on the amount of 9 hole play on the North Course this effort will reduce traffic on the front (Woods nine) by 25% thus allowing the greens to recover and return to their usual playability.
Unfortunately as a result of limiting traffic on the North Course there will be no early morning nine hole play on the back nine (which is now the front , so please plan ahead and call the Starter to book nine hole tee times for the North Course.
