Golf Course Construction Work

In June 2022, the contractors hired to renovate the front nine holes, ran out of time to complete all their tasks, and had to move on to other jobs they had already contracted for. They promised they would be back to complete those tasks when their schedules allowed. That time is now. We need to grab them while they are available. 

The cart paths are almost complete.  Most of the paths are complete but have some revisions to be made, corrections to some and all still have major trim work on the edges to be done.  This could take 6 to 8 weeks as the contractor was pulled away for a priority job. Carts are now allowed on the course. Our current winter rules are:

1.       Carts are restricted to cart paths only.

2.        Disabled flag carts may use the 90 degree rule to drive on the grass to get closer to their ball, returning to the cart path after hitting their ball.

3.       However, under extremely soggy conditions due to saturated soil, the 90 degree rule may be eliminated even for disabled carts. This is determined day by day by the grounds staff.

 We advise calling 253 589-1998 about an hour before your tee time to find out the latest restrictions.

We are currently working on a new project, the replacement of the driving range nets and poles.  The driving range project is going to take longer than projected because our 20 new poles that were in stock at the supplier were shipped to Oregon to assist in replacing electrical poles that snapped in their big freeze.  So, the poles and net will not be replaced for approximately two months which means the driving range is closed until that project is complete. 

And to top it off - the constant rains have complicated everything. The only thing we can promise, at this point, is that these projects are the end of the major projects that will cause golfing disruptions.
