Course Opening/First Mowing

The course will be opening at 12:00 noon today.  We will have to keep #11 green closed due to wet/soft conditions but the rest of the facility will be open.  We appreciate your patience during this very warm weather while we allowed the greens to thaw which has allowed the surfaces to begin to firm up.

We are doing a walk mowing on the greens today to get some of the winter fuzz/trash removed from the surfaces.

We currently have  white/blue markers set together and red markers are set out.  Three ball washers will be set out on each side for your convenience.   Once March arrives, all equipment will be placed out on the course.

There is still some healing that needs to be accomplished over the next months on our greens.  Some sanding/seeding and plugging will be done to encourage the areas to knit back into the complete surface you have been familiar with here at Glen Echo.  Our core aeration in late March should help to finish the healing process as well.
