New golf procedure implemented
A new procedure to protect the Property Owners Association's golf course turf from temperature-related damage and to provide consistency across all village courses is immediately in effect.
When The Weather Channel forecast for ZIP code 72714 is a high of 35 degrees or less for the entire day, courses will close for that day. If it is forecasted to be above 35 degrees, the golf course superintendent will decide if the course is closed or delayed in opening.
When courses are closed for weather-related issues, information will be posted by 8 a.m. on the "Today's Golf" page on the association's website, http://bellavistapoa.com/golf/todaysgolf.asp.
For member convenience, this procedure does not apply to the Kingsdale Golf Shop and Tanyard Creek Practice Center, according to a POA news release. There are situations other than temperature that may dictate course delays or closures. Call the golf shop for the most up-to-date information.
Carts-on-path
schedule continues
Beginning in December, golf carts will be required to stay on paths at various times on each of Bella Vista Village's 18-hole golf courses.
The Property Owners Association Board of Directors recently voted to halt overseeding on all golf courses. By keeping traffic off the non-overseeded fairways, the chances of quicker recovery each spring greatly increase, according to a POA news release.
The schedule for carts on path is:
• Dec. 15-28 at Berksdale and Scotsdale golf courses;
• Dec. 29 to Jan.11 at Highlands and Bella Vista Country Club golf courses;
• Jan. 12-25 at Dogwood Hills and Kingswood;
• Jan. 26 to Feb. 8 at Berksdale and Scotsdale;
• Feb. 9-22 at Highlands and Country Club;
• Feb. 23 to March 8 at Dogwood Hills and Kingswood;
• March 9-22 at Berksdale and Scotsdale;
• March 23 to April 5 at Highlands and Country Club;
• April 6-12 at Dogwood Hills and Kingswood;
• April 13-19 at Berksdale and Scotsdale;
• April 20-26 at Highlands and Country Club.
