Scottsdale golf club summarizes amazing season

 

It is that time of the month when I once again get to share some of my thoughts about the best golf course in Scottsdale and the game.

Some like the spoken word through videos, and others prefer the good old days of the written way. Personally, I like both but have no idea which gets to the most of you, so here we go with a few updates.

We will be hosting the local qualifier for the men’s US Open Championship at best golf course in Scottsdale this summer. We can always us more volunteers and if you would like to help out.

The golf shop will be closed on Mondays as well. The Scottsdale golf club shop hours of operation will also move to its regular summer schedule.

Our outside service team will take care of your needs in the later afternoon.

The Scottsdale golf club men's grill /locker room will get a face lift this summer and to do so, we ask that all men have their lockers cleaned out.

There are renderings of what it will look like after the improvements, on the board as you walk into the Scottsdale golf club men’s locker room for your review.

The locker room and grill will not be available until after overseeding in the fall. We recommend you utilize the locker room by the pool area during this time.

The Horseshoe will keep the same schedule as now with it being open on Tuesday and Sunday afternoons at 3pm for families and friends to walk the 9 holes. 

As you well know the course has been less active these past few weeks and which gives us an opportunity to hold some events once again at best golf course in Scottsdale


NINE AND DINE GOLF:

We will have our first 9 hole Nine and Dine couples this summer starting on Sundays. 

The format is one best ball of 4 on the par threes and two best balls of four on the par fours and fives.

The competition fee is $20.00 per player.

Pricing and additional details will be available on Foretees so please sign up quickly as teams are limited.

If you are hoping to play an 18-hole round, all times will be available until 1 pm that Sunday.


JUNIOR GOLF:

Please hear this all Junior Golfers, we will resume our Junior Golf Camps from June 1-30, filled with instruction , on course competitions and education regarding current rules of play ,course etiquette and Pride of Membership course repair.

Please contact Head Golf Professional JT Hamamoto for additional information as there could be a limit as to the ratio of instructors to students.

He can be reached jhamamoto@ccdcranch.com.


SUMMER AERIFICATION/ TOPDRESSING SCHEDULE:

Our summer aerification at Scottsdale golf courses will keep the course and practice areas closed from July 6th through the 15th ,to reopen on Friday the 16th. This will give the greens almost 10 days to fill in and heal before reopening, which should make them very good putting surfaces.

This schedule also gets all the course work done when most families are taking final vacations for the summer.


THE INFERNO:

Our men’s summer MEMBER GUEST named the INFERNO is scheduled to be held on Friday August 27th and Saturday August 28th,2021

The field will be limited to the first 60 teams to sign up to compete in this fun four format tournament.

We will have details available on Foretees as of June 1st,2021.


FALL AERIFICATION:

Please save the dates for Aerification Fall 2021.

The course and practice areas will close on Monday September 27th through Thursday October 21st and will have opening day Friday October 22nd, 2021.


TEE TIME EVALUATION PERIOD:

A subcommittee of the Golf Committee is being formed to do an evaluation of possibilities to see if there are better alternatives to make starting times than the way we currently make them.

We certainly experienced some challenges in these past months making times 7 days in advance at 7am and we have been asked to do some exploring of options.

We will keep you informed if the programming for change is being considered and when.
