Golf Course Opening this Friday April 11th!

Hop Meadow Members,

Based on current weather forecasts, we will be opening the full 18 holes of golf beginning Friday April 11th at 12pm.  Golfers will have access to cart usage and the lower Driving Range opening is TBD.  Should the weather change we may need to modify what is available for use.  Please check with the golf shop daily for any news regarding the availability of services. 

As a reminder, now that the golf course will be fully open, all play will begin off #1 unless otherwise permitted by a member of the professional staff.  All members are required to check in prior to play.  The first tee times are scheduled for 8am daily.  There is still a possibility of frost early in the season so tee times may be delayed or golfers will possibly be instructed to start on a golf hole without frost.  The official start of ForeTees is April 19th.

Course set up will be on an on going basis along with a balance of spring clean up and early season preparations. From time to time in the spring, necessary maintenance will require us to possibly close a hole (or area) while work is being completed.  Please observe the posted guidelines prior to play to help maintain the safety of the maintenance workers. 

Start up of the Golf Snack Bar is on the schedule for early next week.

Please use good judgment and remember, with early season golf, replace your divots. 

Thank you.

Erick B. Holm, C.G.C.S.

Golf Course Superintendent
