Read about the flood of July 24, 2010. The Village Links is a storm water detention system, designed to flood, release the flood waters downstream at a safe rate, and reopen within a day or two.

This was the view Saturday afternoon, of #18 greenside bunkers, looking back northeast toward #18 tee. The entire fairway was flooded. The 18-hole course opened for play Sunday at 7:30 AM.

July 25 through September 5, Happy Hour Specials allow a foursome play for one low green fee. Carts are available at the regular fee. Play with a 4-some for maximum savings, because the $100 18-hole green fee applies for 2, 3 or 4 golfers. ($60 on the 9-hole course).

9-Hole Course Opens March 12

The 9-hole course will open on regular greens today Friday March 12 at 1:00 PM. The frost is melting from the last few shaded areas of greens and our crew is on the course at the moment, cutting new holes for the first time in 2010. The course is wet. Bunkers are not raked (there is still snow left in a few bunkers) and greens are not mowed. We will open on off-season green fees - 25% discount off the regular fees. Motorized carts will not be available until it dries up a bit. Tee times are available starting at 7:00 AM every day.

We could be able to open the 18-hole course in a week or so. We usually wait to open the 18-hole course until the greens are growing enough to withstand mowing. That was March 16 in 2009.
