Tee it Up

Reminders...

I don’t know about you all but I am ready for some cooler temperatures and no more afternoon thunderstorms. As we work our way out of the heat of summer and into the fall, I want to remind everyone that our course aerification will be Tuesday – Friday the week of Labor Day. Those dates are September 7th through the 10th which is a bit later this year due to Labor Day falling so late. This process is never fun for any golf course but has to be done in order to keep healthy green complexes and course conditions. The healing process usually takes about two to three weeks so I would remind you that as we work our way through this process, it is probably not the best time to entertain guests here at the club but is a great opportunity to maybe plan a trip or two to our other McConnell Golf Properties and see what all they have to offer. Should you have guests already scheduled to come, we will only charge the family guest rate all month while course conditions are not at a premium. While the course is closed for aerification, the Golf Shop hours will be as follows:

Tuesday & Wednesday: Closed, Practice Facility Closed

Thursday & Friday: Open from 9:00am to 3:00pm, Practice Facility Open from 12:00pm to 6:00pm

This past August, some of our ladies and Assistant Professional Brian Muller competed in the annual McConnell Golf Solheim Cup over at Brook Valley in Greenville, NC. Our ladies represented the club well and finished 4th out of the 10 clubs that participated. Great job ladies & Brian!! Congratulations are also in order for Jessica Dickenson, who is our 2021 Ladies’ Club Champion. We will be conducting our Couples’ , Senior, and Men’s Club Championship throughout August and early September and will have those results posted at the conclusion of those events. Below are a few things to always keep in mind regarding golf operations and some of the things we like to remind you.

A proper dress code for both the course & practice

facility is required. Check-in prior to your round with the Golf Shop, especially if you have guests. Continue to repair your ball marks & replace your divots. While we prefer a 4 hour & 15-minute pace of play if you can go faster, do so. Please observe any & all cart restrictions that are posted daily on the tee sheet & pin sheet. Personal coolers are prohibited. The course & practice facility is CLOSED on Mondays, walking the course is prohibited.
