Golf Course News
Twenty - Ten

The year 2010 will mark the start of the 11th year since we expanded to 18 holes. This past Fall we started the blacktop project and we also changed the cart path on the 2nd hole (keeping the path to the left). The clubhouse is seeing a face lift, also. We are building a new entrance way which will help keep the heat in and the cold old this winter.

The Blacktop project is the biggest step to conquer. Thanks to all the members that have invested in the club the project is near 50% complete. The entrances to the 1st and 10 holes were the first to be tackled. Other holes that were done include the 3rd, 4th and 5th, 13th and 16th. Just recently 6, 7, 8 were paved.

The Jack Kelly's Tavern by the Green Restaurant is doing very well this year. Greg offers great food at better prices than anywhere around. We have been serving hundreds of dinners on Friday nights and the $8 dinners are packing them in on Wednesday and Thursday nights. Sunday Brunch is happening again, so stop out for excellent food and company.
