Golf Course, Country Club closed through Oct. 29 while golf course is overseeded

The Canyon Lake Golf Course will be closed from through Oct. 29 for its annual overseeding. Likewise, the Canyon Lake Country Club Restaurant at the golf course will be closed from Monday through Oct. 29 for annual maintenance.

Overseeding is the process of planting new grass seeds directly over the existing turf. This process keeps the fairways green year-round.

In the cooler fall and winter months, perennial ryegrass is overseeded. In the warmer months, the golf course’s Bermuda grass, which tolerates the heat well, keeps the course green.

Yacht Club joins national group to utilize other clubs’ facilities

The Canyon Lake Yacht Club has joined 700 other yacht clubs around the United States by registering with the Yachting Club of America, considered the oldest existing yacht club register in America.

Yachting Club of America is a national association of yacht clubs, with its registry of yacht clubs providing a definitive guide of member clubs, their facilities and amenities. The YCA registry also details reciprocity for member clubs, helping members of registered clubs to identify other clubs where they are welcomed into club facilities and able to use many of the host club’s amenities.

“We looked for a way for our members, many of whom travel extensively, to be welcomed into other yacht clubs around the world,” Commodore Ron Wilbur said. “Joining the YCA provides that ability.”
