Though the weather is still cool, area golf courses are putting everything together for another year of teeing off.
Interlaken opened its course on April 9. General Manager Paul Baldus said they generally try to open around April 10, and this year, they ended up right on schedule. They have been monitoring conditions to ensure the course is in the recommended condition.
“At this time of the year, if there’s any damage to the course the grass isn’t growing,” he said. “That damage is going to sit there for a while. We like to avoid overnight temperatures too low that the grass isn’t growing. Every time somebody takes a divot, that’s not going to grow back until we get the overnight temperatures up.
