Thanks WVCC grounds staff for a great year!

Whitemarsh Valley Country Club's grounds staff had a very good year in 2015. Their hard work and dedication reflected on the quality conditions on the golf course. All of these workers have proven time and time again their value to the club. To show appreciation to each employee, they were  given a 20" carry-on suitcase with the Whitemarsh Valley CC logo embroidered. As you can see the smiles on their faces tell the whole story. A special shout out to Jerry Stockmal (senior asst. superintendent) checking out the tensile strength of the carry-on. And Jim Dennison (asst. superintendent) showing off his strength by pressing the suit case over his head.

Whitemarsh Valley CC is Golf Digest's #5 Remodel in 2015!

Congratulations to the members of WVCC for this honor from Golf Digest. Many years of preparation went into this project with he final result shown here in Golf Digest's list of top new courses and remodels. This is something everyone involved should be very proud of.

Practice approaches are closed for the season. Practice bunkers are still open.

With the cooler fall temperatures upon us, the rate of turf recovery has diminished dramatically. With this said, the green committee has recommended the closing the practice approaches for the remainder of the golf season. This will give the turf some time to partially heal before winter. The two practice bunkers will still remain open until the sand freezes.We thank you in advance for your understanding. 

Bridge to #5 fairway is now open!

Gary Farrer and Gabriel Tavera Alvarez inspect their bridge repair work. Special ordered 4x6x16 foot long pressure treated lumber was used for the repair. The easy access route to the teaching tee is now open for business.

Bridge below maintenance building is closed for repairs.

The large bridge below the maintenance building is temporarily closed for repairs. This is the bridge that get's you to the teaching tee. Please use the bridge at 6 tee or 4 tee to access that area.

Golf course now open!

Sunday October 18th, FROST DELAY this morning.

With temperatures this morning at 30 degrees, a frost has developed over the golf course. When the sun comes up it should start melting the icy coating. Golf course is on a delay until enough frost has melted enough not to cause turf damage.

After a wet, windy weekend.....The new 2015 Penacale Derby winners!

After grinding out a 44 on the 3rd nine, John Begley and Dan Boyce rebounded with a 29 to shock the frontrunners during the 2015 Penacale Derby.

 

Penacale Derby is on.......1 hour delay of tee times

It is not the best of conditions out there with 2.2" of rain falling yesterday. But the greens are firm and as the day goes on the rest of the course should also firm up.

Trying to live with nature.

As much as we work hand in hand with nature, I sometimes wonder why a fox who has 123 other acres to dig for food  must dig up some of our 3 acres of greens. !
