Clearbrook Course & Dining News

Spring 2010 is here, and play is allowed when the Golf Shop is open and answering the phone! Call 269.857.2000 ext. 3 to inquire!

We had a great season last year and ended with the course in BEAUTIFUL CONDITION!  Perhaps the best in it's history!  Conditions this spring are currently very green (warm end of March) but soggy (WET April so far).

Our best news this April is the work by our County Drain Commission is proceeding!  The incredible infusion of sediment from upstream should be relieved (removed) this season, the result being a return to our formerly dryer, more stable fairway conditions of a few years ago.  It's been a long process convincing our neighbors that this is a community issue, with Clearbrook the "benefactor" of all those loose soils resting here as their "gift".  A lot of dredging work has to be done, along with a revamp of the creek weirs we use to fill our ponds.  Our flood tolerance will increase dramatically and hopefully eliminate the stretches of days we're closed following major rains!  Our soils here are sandy, but, the water had no relief ... until now!

 

Don't forget, a round at Clearbrook isn't complete without a stop in The Grill Room, serving all seven nights in golf season, and Tues-Sat the rest of the year.

And, for those seeking an honest return to elegance, all-local sustainable dining, along with award winning wines, reserve a table in The Dining Room, featuring both Prix Fixe and À la Carte dining.

Once again, the editors of GOLF DIGEST Places To Play Guide have included Clearbrook giving it FOUR & 1/2 STARS for 2008 & 2009.... and gave it "superior" Pace of Play and Value ratings.
