Wind Storm- Update #2

The winds finally subsided on Monday evening.  Course clean-up is on schedule and the staff deserves much appreciation for their hard work and effort.  With a majority of the fallen trees cut up and debris clean-up following close behind, we intend to focus on addressing the bunkers on Thursday.  We have begun mowing the primary rough and will commence mowing tees, approaches, and fairways by late Thursday.  The coordination and organization of the clean up efforts are part of a large scale effort with efficiency in mind.  Thank you for your patience during this period.

Wind Storm Clean up Effort Update

As many of you are aware the golf course has experienced severe, high winds over the past several days.  The volume of debris and damage is significant.  We are putting forth the best effort possible at the present time to make the course playable.  We would anticipate the clean up efforts to take the better part of two weeks, if the current forecast for more wind over the next few days doesn't hold true.  Our priority is to  clean the feature areas first and work our way to the roughs and perimeters.


We understand the frustration associated with trying to play a "debris littered" course, but would appreciate your understanding and patience as we attempt to clean up after a "once in a decade" type storm event.


Thank you,
Jason and the Course Maintenance Staff

"Once in a Decade" Windstorm

The "once in a decade" type windstorm that hit California Wednesday evening didn't bypass Arrowhead Country Club.  The high winds have continued, albeit sporadically, for the past several days with the forecast predicting them to continue through the early part of next week.  We lost a total of twelve trees with some form of damage to an anticipated thirty to forty more.  The course is littered with debris and the clean-up efforts are underway.  The progress will be impacted by the current conditions and potential of additional wind.
