Good god the mosquitos are insane currently. Worst I have ever experienced them while playing here. The course is having a real hard time drying out it looks like so there is a lot of water underneath the long grass. Bring ample bug spray and strong stuff at that. Even with 3 spraying I was still being bit some and most definitely hounded with them hovering around. Standing still for longer than 3 seconds brought swarms upon us.

However, with the new holes finished and the pads in place the course looks good. Some mowing and some foot traffic would do it well, but the course is challenging and demands smart play and accurate placements while allowing for ace runs and a fair amount of birdies.

Thanks for the heads up about the killer skeeters swampiness. Was thinking about heading out there tomorrow. All 27 holes have tees and are playable?

Yes they are all good to go.

short tees are in for hole 5 (new hole) and the long tee for 15, the big river hole, is gone. to be played from the short tee until further notice

Much obliged! Will plan accordingly.

wait a minute... the long river shot is gone?! the 450+ one isn't there? that was one of my fav holes there

For the moment yes. shelby Twp is looking to stop some of the river erosion. The river has widened considerably and I think the bridge is going to start becoming an issue. so for the time being, that shot is out. I do think John is looking to keep it though just don't know the ins and outs.
