• Schedule: League play will begin April 30. Aeration will occur the following Tuesday (May 6, done by an outside company), so we will take May 7/8 off to give the course a week to recover. I thought this was a better option than having the first week of league RIGHT after aeration. We will play July 2/3 this year. Rain dates if needed are August 6/7, Position Nights August 12*/13, and Round-Up August 16th. (*Note this is a Tuesday/Wednesday, due to HS Golf Match on the 14th. If no rain out dates are needed, we can play position nights the week before.)
• Weekly greens fees will remain the same from 2024, $13 a week for non-OUGC members, $5 a week for members. This WILL go up in 2026 - they are raising the greens fees this year for public play but have agreed to keep ours the same for one more year.
• Riding Cart fees have increased to $9 per round. FYI, my understanding is that “Walking Wednesdays” will still be a thing for 2025.
• Course-owned push carts will now be FREE to use.
• Native areas will be present again this year. Potential of expansion of these areas between holes 1 and 2, as well as between holes 7 and 8. We will continue to play these (and bunkers) under Rule 16.1, “Abnormal Course Conditions.”
• New irrigation systems have been deployed throughout the course, including electronic systems. This means hopefully more control and better watering throughout the course, and fewer floods when things go wrong!
The deadline for returning players to hold their slot is April 4th, 11:59 PM.
