Golf course officials said revenues were hurt in the latter part of 2018 by the unusual amount of rain that fell in the fall months, impacting the late season golf.

The good news is that golf pro Mike Papp has been working hard on social media to promote the course and those efforts have brought many new golfers to the course who haven't played previously.
