Golf Maintenance Schedule:
A maintenance plan is put into place at the beginning of the year. Variance in weather and agronomic conditions may require changes to the schedule. March Maintenance Schedule As the weather warms in March, the turf will come out of dormancy and green up. The good news is that this will end the need to paint the turf, the sad news is with a greater need to mow, there is a higher chance players will see the fairway and rough movers more. Please be patient as the staff do their best to maintain the turf and stay away from playing as much as possible. The 2025 annual golf maintenance schedule is now on the Chelsea home page. We will continue closing one hole per nine to cart traffic to help maintain the quality of the turf. Back Nine morning nine-hole times will not be available on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday on a year-round basis to allow maintenance time to complete weekly tasks.
Free Monthly Golf Clinic:
Every month Mike and Ken will run a free golf club clinic. All residents and their guests are welcome to attend, and there is no cost. Please sign up in the Pro Shop. The staff have a book behind the counter with all the scheduled clinics that you can sign up for. You are welcome to attend as often and as many as you like! The clinics will cover basic techniques and mechanics of each topic. Our golf clinics are great for learning a new skill or brushing up a skill that needs some work.
The next clinic will be in March and will cover the putting. It will be held on Monday, March 10th at 2:00 pm at the practice putting green. Please see your Chelsea home page event calendar for the full clinic schedule.
