Dear Bear Members, As many of you are aware, golf has seen tremendous growth over the past few years. With the growth of the game has also come the growth of our membership at Grand Traverse Resort and Spa. Our practice areas have seen a lot more use than ever before, the north end of the range by the Golf Academy in particular. This private section of the practice area is in desperate need of repair and rest. To establish an improved hitting surface for years to come, the range surface needs to be reseeded and given time to grow. As of Monday, September 18, the North Range by the Golf Academy will be closed to do exactly that. Other parts of the practice area will remain open and fully operational, including the chipping and putting green. We thank you for your understanding and look forward to the improvements being made. Mark Hill, Director of Instruction Seth Britton, Bear Superintendent |
