Course conditions on March 1

Update March 8 – Expected Opening Day is March 25.

The question on everyone’s mind is “when do you think you’ll open the golf course?”

We can’t say for sure obviously because the weather will be unpredictable, but at this point we need melting, thawing, and drying.  Then it takes a some time for us to get everything lined up so the course is cleaned up and playable.

After 20 years, there have been some early March openings, a few more mid-March, and the last weekend of March is the most likely.  Since 2014, there have been 4 times we weren’t able to open until April, including 2015 when April 11 was opening day.  (We had to shovel the snow off the 9th and 13th green, which was pretty aggressive.)

If I had to guess, I’d say last weekend of March this year.  As always please check our Twitter, Instagram, or Facebook for the most up to the minute information, or this website of course.

Thank you everyone!  We hope to see you at the course sooner rather than later!

It’s that time of year again sports fans!  Feeling down that your team isn’t playing in the Super Bowl this year?  Let us give you something to look forward to – the annual unveiling of the Southers Marsh Super Bowl Ad!

Conveniently we won an award from Toptracer last week for Best Picture – the best original video highlighting Toptracer Range.   Last year’s ad, Save Our Berries, allows us to say (honestly) that we have “Award Winning Ads.”

It is with full confidence that I can say that the ad coming out on Sunday is definitely one of the 10 best we’ve ever produced.  If you can’t wait until Sunday to check out our new ad, take a walk down memory lane and see all our past glory.  I don’t know if these ad campaigns help our business, but they are a lot of fun to make.

As always, a huge thank you to our producers Glenn and Jenn Anderson of Viamark Video and Lou Leta of Digital Video and Consulting.  It’s like Robert De Niro, Joe Pesci, and Martin Scorsese – you know there’s going to be magic.

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.

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
