Would like to thank everyone who came out Friday night for our annual Glow Ball Tournament. It was an absolutely perfect night to play some golf in the dark. Hope everyone had a great time and enjoyed the fireworks. We will be having another Glow Ball Tournament on Friday Oct 27 with a Halloween  theme so please mark your calendars and sign-up early.

Would also like to thank Linda Grunewald and her band Silver Wings for performing Saturday night out on the cart deck. It was a great night with great music. Thanks to all who came out.

The golf course will be closed this weekend for the annual Kyle Sorenson Memorial Golf Tournament. This is a big  tournament with two 18 hole scrambles scheduled for Saturday and two on Sunday. Sorry for any inconvenience this may cause.
