GOLF COURSE UPDATE


  Welcome to the Players Course at Grand Lake Estates, hours of operation are Wednesday through Thursday the start time 9 am, Friday through Saturday the start time is 8 am. If you are calling for tee times, please leave a message with the day and time of your request. A Grand Lake Estates representative will return your call to confirm. If you need directions to the Players Course, Click "Golf Course", then Driving Directions.


  Due to past rainfall and unusual weather conditions in the past few months, the bent-grass greens suffered.  We've established temporary greens Sept. 19th and the course will be open for all play in the last week of September/first week of October.  Weather-permitting (cooler weather must occur for 75 consecutive days with temperatures reaching 60 degrees at night), we will overseed all damaged greens.   All greens should be back to normal and playable by the end of October.

  We are taking bids to complete all cart paths and the bridge.

  We are looking for a landscaper to add color to the golf course. Contractor referrals are welcome.


  A notice for all Players Course members: In efforts to maintain the quality of the course, we ask that you practice the 90 degree rule on all fairways. Please repair all divots, and keep carts away from the greens and sand bunkers.


  If you have not received your membership package, please call Garrett Davis at (936) 447-GOLF. All dues checks should be made out to New Millenium Farms.
