Golf & Sharing the Course with the Maintenance Team

By: Wayne Slaton, Golf Course Superintendent

As a golfer enters the parking lot before sunrise, they eagerly await first light while our Golf Course Maintenance (GCM) team begins mowing and setup for the day.  At most golf courses here in central Texas, the enjoyment of the sunrise and getting to play right after a fresh mowing of the greens is fantastic….

To some golfers, the greatest handicap is the ability to add correctly. You know who you are.

Let’s talk Pace of Play!  Golfers of all skill levels should be able to get around the golf course at a reasonable pace and not hold up groups behind you.  Playing golf at a better pace is not about hurrying up or rushing around the course. It is simply about being more efficient with your valuable time, as well as everyone else’s. Adopting this tip of the month and not being afraid to share it with your fellow players will ultimately add enjoyment to your golf experience.   

Minimize your time on the tee, plan your shot before getting to your ball, keep your routine, and aim to play in 20 seconds or less. On the tee it is usually acceptable for players to “hit when ready.” You can also save time by…

Our survival and well-being of our communities, crops, gardens, lawns, and golf courses depend on the rainfalls we receive for our water reservoirs and water table.   Our central Texas climate…

Spring GreenUp

By: Wayne Slaton, Golf Course Superintendent

As we look to warmer temperatures returning, our golf course turf begins to wake up from winter dormancy. We are preparing to do the best we can to help our golf course playing surfaces perform well.  This is more than just irrigation, or “watering the grass”. Much planning goes into preparing our golf course for the spring to summer playing season….

Course Played as It Is Found

Rule 8 covers a central principle of the game: “play the course as you find it.” When the player’s ball comes to rest, they normally must accept the conditions affecting the stroke and not improve them before playing the ball. However, a player may take certain reasonable actions even if they improve those conditions, and there are limited circumstances where the conditions may be restored without penalty after they have been improved or worsened.

To see what is and is not allowed, click here

By: Wayne Slaton, Golf Course Superintendent

The USGA has produced a great brief video on the basics of course care.  If we all follow these practices, we help keep the course is the best possible condition.   It’s not just for new golfers, we all need a reminder now and then.   Please take 2 minutes and click here to view.

We’re getting closer to identifying a new food and beverage partner for the clubhouse and we appreciate everyone’s patience in this slow but deliberate process. We hope to be up and running with great food and a full bar within the next 90 days or so! We’d like to announce the arrival of an additional food truck, The Holy Grill, that opened for business beginning August 2, 2024. Our friends at Sibil’s Ribs-N-More are still serving up some great food as well!  You may view both of their menus here. Thanks again for supporting these great local food trucks!

Welcome back high school golfers!   Crystal Falls is the home course for three Leander ISD high schools, Glenn, Leander and Rouse.  You’ll find these student athletes teeing off from 2:30-4:00 p.m. Monday – Thursday and also on the practice range those days from 2:30-4:30 p.m.

Make time to improve your game.   Our practice area opens daily at 7:00 a.m. and we discontinue selling range balls 1 hour before sunset. On Tuesday, we discontinue selling range balls two (2) hours prior to sunset to conduct a clean pick; and the range reopens Wednesday morning by 11:00 a.m. after maintenance is completed.  Stop in the clubhouse to purchase a ticket for range balls, available in 3 sizes ranging from $5 – $15

Rule 13 – Putting Green

Rule 13 is a specific Rule for putting greens. Putting greens are specially prepared for playing the ball along the ground and there is a flagstick for the hole on each putting green, so certain different Rules apply than for other areas of the course. The Rule allows a player to do things on the putting green that are normally not allowed off the putting green, such as being allowed to mark, lift, clean and replace a ball and to repair damage and remove sand and loose soil on the putting green. Did you know there is no penalty for accidentally causing a ball or ball-marker to move on the putting green?  Click Here to learn more from the USGA
