The 2021 golf season has come to a close on
#Greywalls
Easily the greatest golf season on record in
#Marquette
with outstanding weather from start to finish
The colors and textures are so good on the
#MarquetteGolfClub
property; this short clip by our own
@CRector02
really captures it on the par three 6th hole.
98 year old putting green profiles that don’t show signs of failing anytime soon… in fact they just keep getting better with management based on data collection and soil physical testing

Thanks for a wonderful 2020 golf season on
#Greywalls

Final sunset on the 2019
#Greywalls
golf season; it is now time to winterize the property to set us up for a successful 2020 season. Thanks for enjoying our turf!
#MarquetteGolfClub
One week ago we had 24” of snow on the ground…. Today we were mowing greens and fairways, topdressing greens, working over bunkers and preparing to open up the Heritage course tomorrow
#TeamWork
#Planning
#Preparation
35 degrees with some snow flakes so it’s not surprising I was the only player on the course enjoying a peaceful round on the
#LangfordAndMoreau
loop. The playing surfaces just continue to get better every season as we focus on long term management for healthy & sustainable turf
Last morning prep of the 2023 season on
#Greywalls
can’t say enough about the team that was on my side getting it done 7 days a week keeping the course dialed since we opened.
Now it’s grind time to winterize the course before we shift gears and do the same on the
#Heritage
May 1st….. I’d rather be mowing greens!! Having to make repairs and switch equipment back to winter mode in a shop with no power smh
Good thing
@uwpaul
got his research plot rated last week but I must say a second rating when this finally melts would be interesting.
#YooperLife
Shoveled the last of the snow off greens yesterday before cleaning them off with brush reels on the Heritage and a light vcut on Greywalls.
First official mow went down this morning on both courses.
Course wide cleanup will continue this week as we march towards the 2023 opening
The 2020 golf season at the
#MarquetteGolfClub
is officially over. We are begging for a melt off this week so we can finish up all of our critical pre-winter processes... only about 30% done right now 😬
You knows it’s winter in the UP when 1) You must snowshoe into the shop 2) You have to guess what traffic control signs say 3) The 8 foot bird houses out in the open are about to go under

#ThinkSpring
Fall colors are rocking right now after our first hard frost morning of the season
#Stunning
#MarquetteGolfClub
The work of
@DeVriesDesigns
is magically enhanced on Days like today as
#Greywalls
enters a surreal level of natural beauty beyond its normal state.
Mission accomplished with this group of Rock Stars! Weather was not on our side but we persisted and dominated the Winterization of our Greywalls irrigation system
#MarquetteGolfClub
28 degrees at the shop this morning and a hard frost turned quickly into an absolutely perfect Marquette day to be outside
#PureMichigan
#MarquetteGolfClub
First mowing of the season on the
#Greywalls
fairways to clip off the brown tips and last falls growth. A few snow flakes in the air as the team finished up
#MarquetteGolfClub
Got our new snowblower hooked up to the tractor today and tested it out. A few more adjustments tomorrow and it will be ready to go. A couple big early season snow events in Marquette.... didn’t think I would need this so soon.
#MarquetteGolfClub
Two thumbs up for the way our turf is emerging from hibernation! Putting Surfaces on both courses look amazing
#MarquetteGolClub
. Good news was definitely needed as our world has been rather painful and difficult so far this year
#StaySafe
Quick snowshoe out in paradise today checking out a few spots on both courses. Nothing better than a high pressure full Sun day after a two day lake effect snow squall…. Esp when you are making the first tracks
#Gorgeous
#MarquetteGolfClub
Timing is so important in this business.... finished up the final critical pre-snow jobs yesterday and today was a complete white-out blizzard for hours. The Plow truck is back to work and the bucks are in hot pursuit
#November
#MarquetteGolfClub
A special delivery today from
@Reindersinc
2021 will see a happier and safer crew while performing morning maintenance. Our success with limited labor is definitely related to improvements in turf equipment and the club’s investment in efficiency
#MarquetteGolfClub
It has been a very mild winter but the latest melt has created some juicy conditions. SnowMold is active as development is taking place on the control plots and on the no spray zones around the UW research plot on our 11th Heritage Fairway.
@plkoch2
@kurtaculous
A couple of 60+ degree days and we are finally starting to see our first glimpses of turf. Greens and approaches look perfect so far but loads of
#snowmold
everywhere else
#LongWinter
and fungicides only last so long
#MarquetteGolfClub
Quick evening stroll from the shop to catch some low light on the course contours.... snow is almost all gone and I can’t say enough about our winter preparation; Courses are emerging perfectly
#MarquetteGolfClub
The property may be covered in a deep white blanket of snow now but these sunrises and firm turf will return before we know it
#Greywalls
#MarquetteGolfClub
#MarquetteGolfClub
is officially 100% open as
#Greywalls
is ready for golfers at noon today. The amount of hard work/planning/dedication that has happened since golfers last enjoyed this property is mind boggling; from winterization to Equipment prep to Spring Startup
#WorthIt
An absolutely beautiful morning to sand topdress the putting surfaces on
#Greywalls
A spike/drag/brush/water after the sand dried and the surfaces are $
#MarquetteGolfClub
With maximum rounds everyday the greens require these practices to keep them rolling smooth and true.
I guess my text on March 20th was a bit premature and optimistic... wow biggest single snow event of the winter last night and today
#MarquetteGolfClub
Flagstick are out on the Heritage as it officially opens for the 2023 season!!
Walking for now as the soils dry down and firm up. Huge shout out to the grounds team for being focused, organized and prepared as we went from 24” of snow to flooding to golf in one week!
Another disastrous rain last night.
Number 11 on the season.
We just keep cleaning it up but at this point it’s getting frustrating especially with all of the events and play we have to prepare for.
#MarquetteGolfClub
Absolutely beautiful morning to get a vertical mow done before another full tee sheet. Rained out yesterday morning so a 3:30 am start to get it zipped & cleaned up before our friends hit the first tee. Putting surface Topdressing is scheduled for Monday
#MarquetteGolfClub
Pins are out and
#Greywalls
is open for play! One of our outstanding members Andrew Flynn had the honor of hitting the first official tee ball kicking off 2021!
#MarquetteGolfClub
First brush mow and cut on the
#Heritage
greens this morning! Greens are absolutely pure coming out of winter.... our long term management practices pay off more and more every year
#WorthTheEffort
#MarquetteGolfClub
The little waterfall on
#Greywalls
is flowing well as winter 2.0 is melting away. Spring cleanup 2.0 will be in high gear this week as we push to open the course.
#MarquetteGolfClub
A few more weeks then we winterize
#Greywalls
Get out and enjoy some golf with perfect conditions and magical colors in the surrounding tree canopy
#MarquetteGolfClub
The top 1-2” has thawed out but the ground is still frozen solid under that depth. Traffic will cause root shearing so we must wait before we can start course wide spring clean-up
#MarquetteGolfClub
What is more romantic than a February 25th property hike in Marquette, with your wife, to look at turf and get excited for the golf season when the weather is like this!
#WinterHasStillNotArrived
Pounded (+,-) 7,560,000 holes 7/8” in diameter on the Greywalls putting surfaces today. Rolling them out and then launching some soil amendments/fertility before the final spray and heavy topdress
#WinterPrep
Opening Day of Golf for the Yoopers here at the
#MarquetteGolfClub
as the Heritage course opened up! Tee sheet was full within hours of the announcement
#EnjoyOurTurf
The
#Greywalls
greens are getting sand topdressed & spiked The rest of the course is getting groomed and a full scale divot filling party is taking place…. The crew and I are doing what we can to keep up with demand for golf on the property.
