After a record rain capping a record November for precipitation, the course remains flooded for the third straight day. The creek has certainly crested, but all bridges are more or less impassable yet, and it will be at least a day or more before we can really see what's left behind. Below are pictures from today.
If there is a positive note to take away from this flood event, I would say that all of our recent infrastructure upgrades to bridges, approaches, and stream banks are holding up great. As you can see from the pictures below, many areas that were destroyed from the 2008 floods of similar proportion have survived in great shape.
Because of the conditions, the course will be CLOSED all weekend. We will be open for winter play on temporary greens starting Tuesday, December 6th.

| A little 'stick' left behind on 12 tee. |
 |
| Fortunately, the bench and ball washer stayed put on 12. |
 |
| This is today's shot of 11 green, and you can see that the water is no longer on the green. |
 |
| 10 bridge somewhat above water. |
 |
| The rock protection, new bridge timbers and concrete approach on 10 held up great! |
 |
| 2 bridge was completely under water yesterday. |
 |
| The new concrete path installed on #2 experienced no erosion. the 2008 floods completely wiped out the previous asphalt path. |
 |
| The mats on #9 are a little messed up. |
 |
| The new concrete approach and rock on 10 holding fast. |
 |
| #2 concrete path. |
 |
| The spruce tree base is eroded as usual, but the new raised creek bank held fast with the sod holding on for a change. |
