The Overview
The Radar Never Lies!
Daylight Hours
Pollen Index
The Pollen Index is high –the golden rod remains. The tall grasses are shedding their seeds in the winds. I just need to play golf with a certain friend and his eyes set the rating.
The Weather Wizard (Soon to be Dog Guide)
The weather dog blew in from his morning patrol – dry head – good start to the day.
Seems to be ready to go back fore training on October 15th! When you can’t find him, leave the back door of the truck open, he will find you!
The Bug Index
The Bug Index is LOW – only house flies trying to get inside fore the change in season…
The Colours index
The Colours index is MEDIUM-HIGH with the tree canopy changing nicely.
Course Update
A golf course is built on dirt, but survives on its reputation. Playing conditions are a key component of this. Grass is an amazing plant. Our fairways have returned for the most part, with existing grasses starting to flourish in great growing conditions. Investing in your future rounds of golf – we are in this together. And this is where we put our reputation. The ultimate compliment any course can get is from you – the player – your second (and third and..) round at the course. We thank you fore this.
With the waning daylight hours, we start later and finish earlier. There are still many golfable hours in a day – which ones are yours?
Safety Hint – dark is black at this time of year. We think we can see into the darkness, but deer and moose don’t move that quickly!
Membership Has Its Advantages
We are asked about Membership at Muskoka Highlands.
Here are Brian, John and Peter – just ask them how much fun it is to golf at the Highlands!
This year we brought in the “multiply your age x $10” and that is your membership if you are less than 27 years old. We have a variation on that for the next decade – 28-37.
We have a variety of Membership options fore you – and if there isn’t one that works, let’s chat. We are creative and like to cater to needs where possible.
Carts are not necessary on our course – we are a walking course. But there are cart packages available.
We are an 18 hole course – and we have to maintain 18 holes. When we are asked about our 9 hole membership being a bit more expensive, it is because we have to maintain all 18 holes for your to have the ability to choose to play the front or the back.
Not sure about how much you will play? Buy our 12 fore 10 pack – pay for 10 – get 12 – fully transferable passes – 9 or 18 holes, carts also.
Juniors and Youth – a great deal – up til you are 25, you add a zero to your age – and bingo – there is your membership fee.
25-45 – Muliply your age x $20 and add HST – bingo – there is your membership fee.
To be fair – we stopped there, because $30 x age over 45 gets a bit more expensive!!
