December Update

Golf Course Closing Date

The golf course will be closed for the season on Monday, December 6 based on the limited play this week and the forecast for next week.

We are usually able to reopen the course in mid-March when things dry out.

Thank you to everyone for another great season!

Pro Shop Hours

If you are looking to purchase gift cards or 10 round passes, the pro shop will be open Monday-Friday from 10 AM-3 PM or you can make purchases online or swing by the Barn when it is open.  Please allow 48 for us to process your online orders.  Dollar value gift cards can be emailed, but 10 round passes must be sent by mail.  We have very limited stock of golf balls and apparel but we are still well stocked on hats.

December 23 is the last day the pro shop will be open, we will be closed completely from December 24-26.

Memberships

Rates are increasing for the 2022 season, and new memberships are not currently available.  We sold too many memberships in 2021, and we have a waiting list.  Since our last membership price increase, our weekend greens fees with cart have increased from $47 to $57.  With the price of labor and other inputs on a steep rise, the price will be $995 for a weekday pass or $1,295 for a seven day pass if you pay by January 7, 2022.  (These prices are $55 less than originally advertised.  The Mass Golf Association recently changed their handicap management system and SMGC memberships no longer include a handicap.   You will need to purchase a separate handicap card through the MGA for $55.  We will provide the link starting January 4 when they become available.)

If existing members don’t pay by January 7, you will risk losing your membership to someone on the waiting list.  Outside range balls will be an additional charge.  We will not be offering memberships in the Barn.  Our season passes are not priced to be a private or semi-private golf course, we are a daily fee facility and our rates are reflective of that.  We appreciate everyone’s support, and we want to give enough notice in case you want to explore membership options elsewhere.

Everyone please have a safe and fun holiday season!  We really appreciate your continued support!

Sincerely,
Willie, JD, Tanya, Scotty, Mike, and the rest of the Southers Marsh Team
