Think the ā€œmarshā€ holes will take a few more days to dry out? Fariways and greens may be fine, but everything else could be swampy / uncartable

The amount of artificial drainage they have might make the marsh holes the driest on the course.

Before last yearā€™s State Am, they were adding drainage to a hill on the approach for the 18th hole. I joked to the soop that I didnā€™t know hills needed help draining and the joke did not land.

Its a damn shame that Parkview in Eagan closed all of those years ago. It would be open right now

Has anyone checked in on Shamrock lately? We could be playing this week.

CreeksBend is another one to watch. I played in March last year when the ground was still frozen.

Hopeā€™s a dangerous thing, but I think Iā€™m starting to feel it a bit.

Snow is starting to get kind of sparse down here in Rochester. I donā€™t think golf in March is out of the question yetā€¦

Iā€™m equally happy for you and blind with jealousy-fueled rage.

Oak Summit boasts to have the most play days of any local course so i would imagine they will open up as soon as possible (and potentially before that) . Would be happy to set up an early season meetup if folks are interested!

Letā€™s hope that Twin Cities Golf doesnā€™t start putting the course openings page behind a paywall.

Donā€™t give Unterreiner any ideas. Honestly though, shocked that isnā€™t the case at this point.

Still free!

Itā€™s just part of your PCC perks like the Upside appā€¦

Not to pull the conversation in another direction, butā€¦do people see value in PCC membership? Iā€™m a PCC member, but I donā€™t really feel like itā€™s worth it. Iā€™m mainly holding on because my price is locked in and it might one day become big enough that Iā€™d be getting a great deal. Thatā€™s a big ā€œifā€ though and I feel like Iā€™m wasting money in the interim.

if you have all the time in the world to golf/ have an atypical work schedule, are agnostic to courses that are ā€œcloseā€ to the metro, actually like afternoon rounds? (yuck, ima dewsweeper) thenā€¦maybe?

Havenā€™t looked at a forecast going on 3 weeks. I am emotionally untethered from the highs and lows of scouring the weather apps to anticipate the start of the golf season. I am free.
