The Lakes renovation project is progressing well and many of the slanted, crowned or concave tee boxes have already been stripped and leveled. Some very detailed rehabilitation work is being done to a number of the old, badly deteriorated greenside and fairway bunkers. Some positive features that will be welcome news to our golfers: a number of the greens have been expanded and reshaped and the Better Billy Bunker System will be installed in all of the renovated bunkers. Check out the IronOaks website for the latest pictures and descriptions of the work in progress. Just one more reminder: the Lakes course is still a construction area and residents are prohibited from entering this area.

Note: The Ironwood course was closed for maintenance on Thursday, June 4. Our schedule resumed on June 11. The Ironwood course is scheduled to close for maintenance on July 20 and reopen on July 24. There will be no league golf on July 23. Keep current on changes in our schedule by checking our website.

Rules Reminder: As we will be playing at Ironwood for the next few months, it is important to be aware of a few of the local rules for the course. On Hole No. 10 the front left drop area is available for players who have hit into the water from the tee box; Hole No. 15 has a front left drop area for players who have hit into the water from the tee box; and on Hole No. 17 you may take free relief from a ball in the large rocked drainage area located behind the 17th green and the cart path. In order to obtain that free relief you must find your ball in the rocked drainage area. If you do not find your golf ball you must proceed under the lost ball rule.
