The comprehensive restoration of our greens is moving forward with impressive speeds. Only four months after the re-planting, we have the first official Stimpmeter measurements, showcasing a remarkable comeback and setting the stage for an excellent playing season.
The benchmark #12 green highlights the rapid progress: after initial spot-tests measured just over 6 in September and 7 in October, it now measures a robust 8.75. This consistent, upward trend is being replicated across all 18 holes.
With a current Course Average of 8.51, we are closing in fast on our peak-season target speed of 9.5 to 10. The uniformity of speeds is particularly noteworthy, with the vast majority of greens scoring well above 8.0.

The Front 9 (Average 8.59) and Back 9 (Average 8.43) are nearly neck-and-neck, promising a balanced challenge. A special nod goes to #5, which is already performing at an incredible 9.56, being the first to reach the low end of our target range!
The crew is also aware of the invasive growth in a few of the greens and are adjusting their protocols to more specifically address these areas. With just 4 short months into a complete regrowing of our greens, the team remains confident that these numbers will only climb as the greens mature, ensuring exceptionally fun putting surfaces when the season is in full swing.
