I wanted to pass along some unfortunate news about Winter Park 9. The course closed temporarily on April 27 after a maintenance worker sprayed greens with the wrong chemical. This caused irreparable damage to 5 greens. The course is supposed to re-open in a couple of weeks with temporary greens with a full re-opening planned for July. In the meantime, the greens will be resurfaced. I last played the course on March 22 and the greens were in good shape as the course was prepping for its annual City Am the first weekend of May. The tournament has been postponed until October. This comes about a decade after the highly successful renovation by Keith Rhebb and Riley Johns.
I’m including a photo of the 6th green, taken by a friend on April 17. I’ll also include the link to a local news story about this.
I live an hour from the course and it’s my favorite place to play. Naturally I hope all of the work on the greens goes as planned and the course returns to its stellar form.
