Muni Minute

The 2022 golf season is here!!!

Our first two days of the season have been fantastic. It has been great getting to see everyone back out enjoying the Muni. The course although wet and soft in many places has been very playable and hopefully we can miss some of todays rain and see carts out in the near future. The driving range also remains closed as we are unable to put out the protective netting with the wet ground or prevent the balls from plugging.

Some important things happening around the Muni in the coming days are….

Wednesday May 4th- Men’s League registration deadline.

Sunday May 8th- Mothers Day Brunch at the Muni

Lastly on Sunday May 8th from 1pm to 3pm we will be hosting the celebration of life for long time employee Karen Petrie. Karen spent over 35 years working at the Muni and was the face of the Muni Pro-shop, serving and creating friendly relationships with thousands of Muni golfers over that period.

All Muni members past or present are welcomed in celebrating Karen’s life with the family.

Course Opening.

With cold temperatures all day today and until late afternoon Thursday, we will be pushing opening again until Friday at 10am. We know this isn’t ideal but we can’t see the good in opening the course for sub 5 degree weather, to just cause damage as the course remains very wet.

We are continuing to do everything we can to help dry the course. This includes squeegeeing puddles, and pumping water daily. Mother nature just doesn’t want to cooperate this Spring.

That being said we will be walking only once open, and hope to see the Driving range/carts soon after opening.

Cheers

Course Opening…

With Wednesdays high of 1 feels like -5 we have decided to push the course opening. We are hoping that we avoid most of the rain today and will be able to open come Thursday morning when it is 9 and sunny, but if we do receive a lot of rain today we will need to postpone our opening to Friday or Saturday at the very latest.

We were able to get a lot of work done this weekend on the course with all the beautiful weather, but holes like 4, 6, and 8 still remain unplayable from water still. So fingers crossed the rain misses us and we continue to see drying, as the rest of the week minus Wednesdays cold, looks like nothing but sun.

The Clubhouse’s is open from 8am to 4pm daily until opening, for anyone who wishes to still get a membership or for booking tee times. Our Men’s night registration deadline is also coming up fast on May 4th and all League info can be found on the website under the leagues header. We also look forward to the Ladies League Social night Tuesday night from 6pm to 8pm.

Cheers

As the course hit bad with rain again on Thursday with rain, we hope that this morning we can avoid the rain and can see some major drying this afternoon and tomorrow in preparation for opening day.

With that said Wednesdays opening may get bumped back with Wednesday’s high of 2 degrees and the chances of rain today and Monday. We are continuing to do everything we can but if the course remains unplayable we will not open.

That being said Sundays weather looks amazing, and the clubhouse and patio will be open for membership purchases and anyone looking to enjoy a drink.

9Teen @ The Muni will also be serving up a Fried Chicken Special Sunday, along with their everyday menu filled with tons of tasty options.

Really hope to see everyone soon.

Muni Minute

Hello Everyone!!!

The 2022 Season is almost here and I am excited to announce that we now have an Opening date.

We are going to open Wednesday April 27th for the season!!!

We are still not sure if carts will be going when we first open as we still remain wet in areas but we are hoping the forecast this week is easier on us then what they are calling for with snow and rain, but the weekend forecast and early next week looks good and we are sure we will be able to get the course in good enough shape to open for at least walking and hopefully carts too.

We will see our online tee sheet go live today at 12pm for members. This will be the only way to book tee times until Saturday, when staff will be in the Clubhouse again for membership purchases and taking tee times.

Lastly 9Teen at the Muni is back open with a new owner Howling Moon Catering. We look forward to Winona running and operating the kitchen this year and serving up great food to our Muni Members and guests. She brings with her a new menu filled with pub grub and home cooked daily meal specials, so make sure to drop by the kitchen window and welcome her to the Muni and try some of her delicious food.

Can’t wait to see everyone out golfing next week.

Opening Date!!!!

We have been getting lots of calls, emails, and texts lately about when The Muni will be opening for 2022.

With the current forecast and the fact that the course still remains very wet, our goal is to open the week of April 25th. This week we have chances of rain everyday and Easter weekend into next week remains very cold with chances of snow.

Please know that we are doing everything we can in the meantime to get the course ready for opening. The staff have walk cut the greens, raked what they can without the use of machines, and pumped out and back filled our new sprinklers.

The tee sheet will also remain closed until we can confirm a solid opening date, so continue to watch our website, Facebook, and Muni minutes for when it will open for bookings.

Lastly we have had people coming onto the course and hitting their own balls off the range tee. We ask that everyone remain off the course, practice range, and putting green until we open. This is trespassing and we are not doing all this work to get the course ready for the season to have divots all over the range tee or ball marks on the greens.

See everyone soon

Muni Minute

Golf is right around the corner, and finally the 2 week forecast is starting to look promising!!!

Below are important league dates and information for everyone to start planning and thinking about as we inch closer to the start of our 2022 season.

We still do not have an opening date set as the course remains very wet, but staff are doing everything they can without being able to put machines on the course.

Hopefully next week we will see some major drying, and the announcement of an opening date.

Until then at least we have the Master and the hope of Tigers return to keep us tide over.

Golf Season Coming Soon.

Muni Minute

Hello Everyone

With the golf season right around the corner, we have been fielding lots of questions about possible opening dates. At this time we still can’t give an exact date as we need a big shift in the weather to be able to start getting the course ready for play, but myself and the staff are ready to go once the conditions allow.

2022 will be a busy year at the Muni so please make sure to follow the Website, Facebook page, and Chronogolf events calendar to stay up to date on all things Muni. This season we will see our Men’s and Ladies leagues, Member Opening/Closing scrambles, Muni Men’s Invitational, and Our Club Championships.

Our 2022 Jr. Program will consist of a week long camp from July 4th to July 8th. Registration will open now for Jr. Members/ Children of Members first before opening to the general public on April 18th. Program information can be found on our website under the Jr. Program Header.

I look forward to the 2022 Season and seeing everyone very soon.
