Inglewood has pulled some of the tarps off the greens, noticed #10 was basking in the sun when I drove by today. 

 

Still a fair amount of snow on 16 fairway. 

 

Won't be long if the weather stays this warm. 

 

I'd expect TPC Fox Hollow to open next week. 

They have the newly minted Mid-Master amateur there this year. Seems like a mulligan for us over 40 guys, but I’ll take it lol

[ZipinZ]

Still no Robins but the Geese have returned, the greens look like they don't have any winter kill but the courses around Sylvan won't be open anytime soon.

Heatherglen has won the YYC first to open it appears. 

I hope tee sheets are not going to be like they were last year. 

Kale, sounds like you are off to a great start. Perhaps a club championship or another trophy comes your way this year.

HeatherGlen will be an absolute zoo this weekend I'm sure.

[specimania]

Oh ya, what a show that's gonna be. 

Cousin Eddy hit TPC so that can't absorb anything ether. 

I do not know what would be worse, Fox or Heatherglen right now. So many sprayed golf balls everywhere. Slow as. Oh the joys

When we played At Henderson lake on Thursday there was an hour delay to start. Once we got out there though we played in 3:45. Was great!

Man it’s crazy what 300km does, the earliest in yeg I could fathom is in 3 weeks at best.

[Double K]

Read on another forum that Silverwing has new ownership and will be opening up this year?

 

Anyone else hear that?

Really? Mill woods has the tarps off... there is hardly any snow. I am a little more optimistic than you I think. By April 1 I think a few places will be open. I drove by my course yesterday and there is no snow, just wet.

Greens all clear at Priddis Greens but need the snow shovels on most fairways. 14 day forecast looking good. Double digit highs Mar 31 - Apr 3. 👌

Oh maybe I still see a decent amount snow by a couple courses, the over night lows are still getting below 0. My guess was more with the 14 day forecast. I’d love to be wrong though

TPC Fox Hollow not opening anytime soon.... 

[Kale_m]

I have a time booked at rivers edge on Saturday. Snow will be gone by then

I'm glad I decided to browse the forums today. I didn't even think to check at Rivers Edge, but I also have a Saturday tee time now. 

[Double K]

Too much stuff to do around the house, otherwise I'd be there. 

[capking]

Geese you guys are lucky, Pretty jealous... Except of your hockey team haha

[mikedejong33]

In Edmonton: Sandpiper is now open I have heard for anyone looking to play. I would guess Millwoods will open this weekend too. Our driving range opens Saturday, and the course should probably another week or two out I am being told.

Not all of us follow the Flaming C...

 

 

I'm probably going to get excluded from any Calgary area meet ups now! 

[mikedejong33]

Just read on Twitter that The Ranch opens this Saturday. It’s starting to happen!

Dont worry, I'm an Oilers fan even from here in Australia. I saw the Great One play when I lived in Edmonton which sealed the deal. So we can team up when we come over in 20?? 

[remlap13]

Considering it keeps snowing here in south Calgary, I wonder if our Saturday tee times at Rivers Edge will even happen. It sure won't be melting today. 

[BdaGolfer]

No go at River's Edge this weekend, they sent an email out saying too much snow. Planned opening now April 1.

Yup.. It was going to be brown and soggy, and the lower holes were going to be ugly and barren, but it was going to be golf. Real live golf. 

 

Guess I'll hit the range again and try for next weekend.
