Hello Everyone

Its with great pleasure that I get to say, we will be staying open during the Stay at home order announced yesterday. Golf has been deemed a safe activity and we hope everyone gets out and enjoys the course during these hard times.

The clubhouse does remain off limits accept for payments, so please make sure to follow these rules. Also outside gathering can not occur so please arrive only 10 minutes before your tee times, and exit property immediately after round.

Lastly thank you to everyone for getting used to the new system. We are also learning it with you and as the week has gone on we have seen vast improvements from both sides of the system. Please remember to keep putting everyone’s name who is playing in the times as accurate as possible, and be respectful with booking times and no showing. We have been tracking this season, as these are very valuable to other golfers and the course.

Can’t wait to continue seeing everyone.

Kyle

Happy Opening Day Everyone!!!

The golf season is finally here, and even though Covid has hit us with a 3rd Wave, hopefully everyone can use the Muni as that place to escape for a few hours.

Please make sure to visit our website and review the Covid Precautions before arriving and remember to follow all rules while on the property.

Also the Patio is still under construction so the only entrance to building will be the main entrance on parking lot side of the building. Please be cautious of the taped off areas and machinery.

I am also sad to announce that at the moment carts will remain off the course. It does look dry but there is still some standing water and the ground is still extremely soft causing mud to surface with the weight of carts and mowers. We will continue to monitor and get them out as soon as we can but please be friendly to the staff and myself about this decision as we cant see wrecking the course for April 3rd golf.

Lets makes 2021 a golf season to remember.

Hello Everyone

With the latest announcement from the provincial government I just thought I would send a quick email on what Saturday will bring at The Muni.

We will be open!! Even with the grey lockdown emergency break, outdoor activities like Golf will be allowed to continue. We will see protocols in the same manner as to when we opened last season, with a full list of rules on our website under Covid Precautions.

The main rules being the clubhouse and patio will remain closed except for payment or for take out of beer/snacks and will limited to 4 people at a time, players will also be asked to arrive no sooner then 10 minutes before their tee time and leave after finishing their round.

We are lucky to remain open during this time and hope everyone follows these precautions to the fullest.

Lastly the new tee sheet has launched and has been filling up quickly with just a few question coming in about adding players or guest etc.

Guest are only allowed to be booked 4 days in advance, even when it’s a member booking the time and adding a guest to their time. This means you will have to wait till the 4 day period to make tee times if it involves a guest. This also includes long time members who have not made it in to get their membership yet as they are not in the system and recognized as a public player until membership is purchased. Also we please ask that all names be entered into the slots as accurate as you can and not left as guest or using a filler member so someone can’t join you. This will be a busy year and every lost tee time matters, and could be filled by someone looking to play. Also providing our system and staff accuracy on player type payments etc.

We know there will be some bugs and getting used to the system period but will provide an easier more enjoyable booking once learned.

I can’t wait to see everyone Saturday

Hello everyone,

I am getting some emails about the Chronogolf welcome and verifying email that was sent Friday. This email was only sent to anyone who hasn’t had a verified Chronogolf account before. If you have used the email provided us to make a tee time at any Chronogolf using golf course then your account would already be verified. St Mary’s Country Club being the closest course to use the system. Or if after purchase you downloaded the app and verified yourself before the email was sent, you too would not of received this email.

For anyone who is still struggling here are some pictures with step by step instructions for getting on.

Step 1: Visit Chronogolf.ca and click Log in

Step 2: Try logging in with the email you supplied us and any password it might be. If that doesn’t work click Member of a club using Chronogolf/ Read the instructions for Members. (Circled in photo below)

Step 3: Read/Try all instructions, and if all else fails contact Kyle as your email may have been enter incorrectly.

I hope this helps anyone who is still struggling with getting on the new system and I am love seeing the tee sheet start to fill for opening day next Saturday.

Hello Everyone

With a week of what seemed like June weather and courses in the area starting to open up, I just thought I would take this moment to let everyone know what we have been up to around the Muni.

Many driving by might have seen numerous dump trucks, gravel piles and big machinery, as our new patio construction is now underway. We are hoping to see it completed by the end of next week but it will be weather depending. We have also been able to take this time to finish all the course clean up from the mass tree removal we saw over the winter and our bunker renovations. *Please know that if we felt we could of opened, we would of, but with the machinery in and out of driveway and around clubhouse we didn’t deem it safe.* We also want to give everyone good playing conditions with cut greens and a clean course, and with that being said The Muni wintered beautifully and we are excited for everyone to see the course and changes come opening day.

Opening Day? When might that be? We are excited to announce that are goal for Opening day will be Saturday April 3rd. All members will receive a welcome email today from Chrono golf our new tee sheet provider with account information, and a small tutorial on how it works. This also means that the tee sheet with be live for booking!!! Please note that on the tee sheet it states that tee times booked are dependent on weather and course opening, but hopefully we see nothing but nice weather and everyone out enjoying themselves come the 3rd.

Lastly we hosted our first ever fitting day on Tuesday with Cobra golf, where we saw 12 players all be fitted and purchase new clubs from our Muni Pro shop. It was a great day with Cobra staff members on site dialing in perfect shafts and clubs for our players and we even received a message after from a happy customer stating “I feel like a kid who just got home from Disney Land” Our next fitting is April 22nd from 11pm till 5pm on the Muni Range please contact myself or Scott to reserve your spot as they are filling up fast.

I look forward to seeing everyone out soon

Hello Everyone

As we start to see Spring like weather we have been working hard to get The Muni ready for another season. The golf course has wintered great and the upcoming beautiful weather did have us consider opening for a few days but with the extended forecast still cold, with chances of snow, we have decided to remain closed and use these nice days to continue preparing the course, so that we have clean playing surfaces and cut grass when we do finally open. If the forecast changes we will be ready to open though and it’s looking like it might be a very very early start to the year with lots of April golf.

Our yearly tournament/ league schedule has also been set, so save these dates in your calendar:

June 26th- 3 Man Cash Scramble ***New Event***

July 3rd- Men’s Invitational

July 25th- Sr Men’s Club Championship

August 7th-8th- Men’s Club Championship

August 22nd- Ladies Club Championship

September 11th-12th- Romeo Cup

We will also have our Men’s League operating again this season with some minor changes due to Covid and tee sheet availability. All information can be found on the website under the Men’s leagues section.

Our Monday morning Jr. Program will also see changes due to Covid with the regular program still not operating. We will be offer two 4 day golf camps from 8am till 12pm with limited numbers from June 29th to July 2nd and August 3rd to August 6th. Cost is $250 and registration and sign up info can be found on the website on the Jr golf league section.

Lastly we are now in the clubhouse every Monday to Friday from 8am till 4pm for anyone who still wishes to come in and get their 2021 membership.

I look forward to seeing everyone soon.

Kyle

Just a quick reminder that today is the last day for Early Membership Sales, we will be in the clubhouse from 12pm till 4pm.

Look forward to seeing everyone who comes out.

Hello Everyone

Just a quick reminder that we will be in the clubhouse today from 12pm till 4pm for Early Membership sales and again next weekend 12pm till 4pm on Friday and Saturday before the prices jump to our 2021 rates. We will also accept E transfers at any time to [email protected] (please include full name, email address, and phone number of joining member along with correct total after tax.) or answering the phones during open hours for those who wish to call in with credit card payment.

Look forward to seeing some faces even if behind a mask, and can’t wait till the season can begin.

Kyle

Thank you everyone who took the time yesterday and Friday to call in and purchase their Muni memberships, or has sent E-transfer. We have seen lots of regulars and new faces already joining the Muni for the 2021 season, and we look forward to seeing many more in the coming to weeks.

With the announcement that we can move back into the orange category on Tuesday, we will be allowing people to come into the clubhouse to purchase their memberships on February 19th, 20th, 26th and 27th from 12pm till 4pm. Covid rules must be followed with the wearing of a mask, and we will monitor the number of people in the clubhouse at one time. If you are uncomfortable coming in we will still take credit card payments over the phone or the usual E-transfer to [email protected].

Look forward to seeing everyone who comes in the next couple weeks.

Kyle

Hello Everyone

Just another quick reminder that our Early Membership Prices end on February 28th, and that we are currently taking membership payments via E-Transer at [email protected] and will be answering the phones in clubhouse on Feb 12th, 13th, 19th, 20th, 26th, and 27th from 12pm till 4pm for anyone who wishes to call in and pay via credit card over the phone or drop off a cheque at the front door.

Also we have been seeing an increase in people snow shoeing and cross country skiing on the property and across our greens and new bunkers and we are asking nicely if people would remain off the property as this can cause damage to both the greens and our new bunkers.

Look forward to seeing everyone in the Spring

Kyle
