A Message from the GM: Upcoming Greens Renovation

 

 

Dear Valued Patrons of The Bluffs Golf Course,

As your General Manager, I’m excited to share that we are beginning a much-anticipated greens renovation. Starting June 13th, the course will be closed for 28 days while we make these important improvements. After that, we’ll reopen with temporary greens, and once the renovation is fully complete, you’ll be able to enjoy our brand-new greens.

We’ve also heard some rumors that the course is closing permanently—we want to be absolutely clear: this is not the case! We invite you to continue to come out, support us through the summer, and enjoy beverage specials, random golf specials and daily discounted green fees as low as we can keep them during this time. Your loyalty means the world to us, and we can’t wait to share the exciting results with you.

Thank you for being a vital part of The Bluffs family. We look forward to seeing you on the course soon!

With my deepest thanks for everything,

John
