Spring!

The double digits are coming. This is later than usual as we have seen warmer days in February, nevermind March, but we'll take it this week. The snow should be gone in a couple of weeks and then we're back to the course to get things ready for the onslaught. The spring bookings are ramping up and people are clammering to get a spot for the unlimited special. This makes it difficult for the grounds crew to work around all those people but we'll take it of course as we aren't going to prepare the course if nobody shows up.

The elk have stayed away - lured by a fresh supply of hay just off the property - leftover from a harvest for a ranchers heards that he didn't get off before the snow came. The greens are looking great considering it's been almost 4 months since we've seen the turf - that's a long snow cover for recent years.

The Progress for ZOIZ.




Happy New Year!




We're getting pretty excited about 2012 or what I like to call ZOIZ - see how the Z'z look like 2's and you can say Zoiz instead of TwenTee TuhwelV. But I digress...




Here's how the winter is shaping up...





The Villa is going up fast and will be ready for opening. This building is a 12 unit condo of which 11 units will be for rent.





We're going to host the 1,000,000th round this season. That means some lucky golfer is going to tee off and then the fireworks are going to blast off and then the party will start - at least for a few moments as we shower the golfer with prizes and adultion. After 44 seasons we've played a lot of golf out here and that's how long it takes to get to a million - it's pretty special.





We're offering an awesome promotion for returning golfers to bring a friend(s). For the promotion there is a discount available in the form of in-house credit - phone the lodge for details.








The mild winter means the golf course is fairing well ans we'll be getting rid of the snow off the greens in early February to get a closer look - I will post photos then.





The bunker renovations will be completed this season and then we are going to concentrate on the paths so that the ride around the track is smoother and more enjoyable. We're also taking on a few other projects that will surely enhance the golfing experience.
