Great Waters Golf Course Maintenance: Greens are covered

Thursday, February 19, 2015

Greens are covered

We did cover greens on Tuesday of this week and the covers are still on today. With a morning low of 16 degrees and a high today of 33 the golf course will be closed. Right now we are going to do everything that we can to get the golf course open tomorrow but we will have to see what the weather does. We did have to battle the winds a little yesterday. 30+ MPH winds are not nice to our covers.
