SPRING WEATHER
Typically in the mountains May can bring a large deposit of snow early to middle of the month. This year, following the heavy snowfalls in April, we recieved 6" of snow on May 27th that was preceded by 1" of rain the prior day. Despite the heavy rain and snowfall amounts Stewart Creek flows remain normal as shown in this photo of hole #14. While many other golf courses in the area are dealing with flooding conditions or preparing for flooding, this is one occasion where being in the mountains and having snow has lessened our immediate concerns, however we do have a contractor on standby to assist with creek monitoring in the event of heavy flows. We will be on alert following these snows and rains as the temperatures rise back to normal in the coming days. Whilever our property is on the mountainside, we wish the best to all the golf courses downstream of us along the Bow and Elbow rivers as these snow and rain conditions in our area can lead to problems for those many kilometers away.
