The 2011 season is here

On Friday April, 15 2011, the Apostle Highlands Golf Course opened for play. Not only is the season underway, but so are our new construction plans. Currently NCI is working on a phase that includes a new patio, cart parking and car parking. All of this work will be finished before Memorial Day. NCI is also working on some smaller projects which include the addition of tee boxes to holes 1 and 12, filling in the greenside pond on 2 and creating a creek that runs along the left side as well as behind the green and adding mounds behind number 9 green. There are more significant plans that are under consideration but we will wait until they are confirmed.

Plans for 2011

2011 will be an even bigger year for Apostle Highlands Golf Course.

We will continue to work on tree removal in key areas. Also, as we speak all of the drainage work that was completed in the fall, will be ready for us when we tee it up in the Spring.

Currently, we are working on the clubhouse grounds and the parking lot. We will have a new and improved parking lot and golf cart parking which will improve curb appeal, improve the function of the parking lot and increase the flow so lot owners and visitors can drive uninhibited to their destination.

Adjacent to the clubhouse, we will have a new patio area with a gazebo and extensive landscaping. This will be a great area for tournaments, large outings, holidays and weddings.

The best part of 2011 is that it is our 20th Anniversary. We have plans this year to unveil a new logo which we are really excited about.

2010 Year in Review

As of now, we have finalized our underbrush and tree removal. Also, our second aeration of the year is complete.

We still have to work on drainage which NCI will continue to do this fall.

At this time, we are finishing off the installation of our new irrigation system which will allow us to water the course in less time as well as control our irrigation system more easily.

We are excited to see what will come of our improvements come spring.

Undoubtedly, there is more to come for next year, since we do have a 5 year plan to make Apostle Highlands even better.
