The golf course received just over 2.5" on Friday and is really in pretty good shape as of 6:00 a.m. Saturday morning. The bunkers will need to be repaired and players should expect the course to be saturated for the next few days. Our team is already hard at work to get the course back together for play. The entire course is passable with only minimal interior flooding. As the course drains, this could get worse but as of right now, all cart paths and bridges are passable.
The newest river forecast is very promising as well. As of last night, the river was forecast to reach 17 feet which is well about our banks. This morning, forecasts have changed for the better and the river looks to crest at 10.3 feet, well under the banks here at Willow Oaks. We were prepared for the worst but seem to have made it through rather unscathed. I look forward to a beautiful October.
Have a great weekend,

| The latest river forecast projects the river to crest at only 10.3 feet. Rain is still falling west of Richmond. In our experiences, these forecasts are most reliable once the rain has stopped falling. |
