Out with the old and in with the new...
Over the past few weeks many of you have noticed some renovations and upgrades happening around the club. We have replaced all of the outdoor furniture around the clubhouse and under the events porch with brand new tables and chairs. On the back patio over looking the 18th green we have added chairs and tables with umbrellas. (pictured below) The Golf shop, hall way, and dining room have been painted with new modern furniture. The Kitchen flooring as well as behind the bar has been repaired and replaced. Our beloved "Turn Shack" has been fully renovated with new equipment and appliances. It will be serving quick service food as well as beverages from time to time. We are all excited for these new changes and upgrades to finish the year strong.

Summer is here and you need to stay cool, stop by the Golf Shop to pick up all the latest patterns from brands like Peter Millar, Turtleson, Holdernous & Bourne, and Footjoy. If you like the polos then you'll love the swimming trunks from Peter Millar. The trunks may be the best you've ever had and even better you get a koozie and phone protector with them! Lastly we can't forget about covering our noggins with the latest patterned hats from Imperial and back by popular demand the Blue - Grey hats are now for sale to everyone.. If you're interested in any of these items stop by the Golf Shop and see for yourself.
