re:GOLF
November brings all types of changes to
the golf course. First is the time change.
The Bermuda grass begins it’s descent
SWING
into dormancy. The cooler weather also
means a shorter playing window as we
will begin to experience frost delays
in the morning. Members can check
course weather updates on the website
as they are updated daily at 7:30 am
with an estimate of the time the course
will open for play. But rest assured,
there is still plenty of stuff going on.
The new line of Foot-Joy outerwear has
arrived and will keep you warm and dry
to enjoy all that Summit Chase golf has
to offer.
