<\/div>\n\n\n\n

We are into that dreaded time of year when we start to experience frost delays in the morning. These delays are just as frustrating for us in the greens department as it is for you the players because if the grass is too frozen to play on, it is also too frozen for us to get any work done!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When there is a frost delay in the morning we will put \u201cCourse is Closed\u201d signs onto the 1st and 10th tees on the Sea Course as well as the first tee on the Stone Course.  If these signs are out, DO NOT START PLAYING!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our staff will be constantly monitoring the situation and as soon as conditions permit we will notify the caddiemaster, remove the signs and allow play to begin.  It is also important to note, that during frost delays all putting greens located in the practice facility are closed to play. The driving range will be open for practice, but you may only hit balls from the practice mats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Please do not make the decision yourself to go play.\u00a0Often the first greens to thaw are the 9th, 10th, and 18th greens in front of the clubhouse making players think that the course is ready to play.\u00a0 This is often not the case as many of the other greens on the Sea Course will still be under a thick frost.\u00a0 We often see players begin play on the 1st because the tee and fairway are frost-free, only to see the first green and realize it is still frosted over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When booking your tee times, it may be worth considering playing the Stone Course in the morning.  While that course experiences frost delays as well, it often becomes playable before the Sea Course as it doesn\u00b4t have as much shade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Please take a moment to watch the following\u00a0video on why not to play on frosty greens<\/a>\u00a0so you will know for yourself what kind of damage is caused when playing in frosty conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These frost delays are frustrating for everyone.\u00a0 If there is a frost delay in the morning when you show up, please be patient.\u00a0 These delays may be lengthy but they are necessary to protect your\u00a0golf course.\u00a0At this time of year, we need to be particularly careful with the greens as days are cool and short which means the grass is not growing quickly, making recovery from damage very slow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
