All 18 holes will be open for play today. With temperatures around 50°F yesterday, the rest of the snow has melted off. This is a good thing for golfers but with highs around 45°F-50°F and lows in the teens we are experiencing some freeze and thaw conditions. This thawing process leaves the ground soft as the frozen moisture in the soil profile melts. This means that turf is damp and soft in the afternoon during warmer temperatures and then frozen in the morning and at night due to freezing temperatures. Due to these conditions golf carts must be restricted to the path in order to prevent damage. This also means that greens will be soft during the day. Please remember to fix all ball marks as they will be more severe during these soft conditions.
Here is a good video from the USGA on ball mark repair.
