Madison Meadows Golf Course

On behalf of the Staff and the Board of Directors thank you to everyone for a fantastic 2011 Golf Season.  The inclement spring weather had us starting off slow in May and June but with July came great weather and some absolutely great golf days!

The Madison Meadows Golf Course showed some great improvements with new projects and daily course conditions. A new course superintendent was hired at the beginning of the year.  Mike Brandon did a wonderful job of getting the course up and running, with great mowing patterns, faster and truer greens and better overall golf course conditions. 

One highlight that I am proud to say worked well for us was a national program called “Tee it Forward” that was promoted by the PGA and certainly fit well into our Long Range Improvement Plan for golf course improvements.  A new tee box for ladies was added to Hole #6 which tremendously helps the average female golfer navigate this difficult hole.  A new tee box on Hole #2 for ladies will also be constructed this fall and finished in the spring.  Also a new tee box on hole #8 for men was constructed and opened for play on Hole #8 making a beautiful tee shot on this great par 3 hole.  The fountain in #8 pond was also repaired and put into service adding a very nice touch to #8 as well.

Our Long Range Improvement Plan for the course is coming along nicely and is about 1/3 completed.  Work is being done on the right side of Hole #9 and we have applied for a grant to help with the finishing on the right side of Hole #4 with more irrigation, trees and a fairway sand trap.  We are continually striving to improve the course for all of our players.  A side note to the course improvements is that all of the projects completed have come from donations in the form of cash, materials, equipment and labor.  No money is taken from the general operating revenue from the course helping us keep the annual and daily rates at a very low cost to our patrons!

We are all looking forward to another fantastic year in 2012!  In May we again will be hosting the State High School “C” Tournament which is great for our course and certainly great for our community!

See you all soon and remember to keep you ball in the short grass!

Sincerely,

Patrick Stoltz
