Snow Golf at River Oaks Golf Course
• River Oaks will be kicking off its inaugural Snow Golf Season this year.
• Players will be striking tennis balls with seven irons.
• Clubs and balls will be provided by the golf course.
• The cost is $5.00 for 9 holes.
• Hole length will be between 40 -100 yards and play will take place on the driving range.
• There will be a limited menu of hotdogs, soda and alcoholic beverages.
• Play will begin after a meaningful snowfall.
River Oaks staff are currently still working out the details like how to keep snow down for
walking or snowmobiles.
According the Golf Manager, people who play golf do not necessarily play snow golf, it is for
others. Play will occur on Saturday and Sundays from 10 a.m.- 4 p.m.
We will be advertising this new event through press releases, in our newsletter, on our web
sites and on Facebook.
Because he has never done this before Bruce says his organization will be on a learning curve
and will see how it all works out.
