The majority of the course is snow free and the ground firmed up on St. Patty's Day. Overall the course weathered the winter with minimal damage. As far as opening the course the "rule of thumb" is pins will be placed,when we mow greens. This means the grass is actively growing and able to take the wear of normal play.
Some greens may have temporaries because they haven't broken dormancy as quickly or are still covered with snow(#15 green pictured above). Greens have been cleaned of debris and we are waiting for them to show signs of growth. They usually start growing when soil temperatures reach 38-42 degrees.
Carts will not be permitted until the ground is firm and once again the grass has started actively growing. Once again the rule of thumb is when we mow fairways for the first time.
