In 2021, the Towanda Golf Club came under new ownership. The ownership team is committed to the long-term future of Towanda Golf Club and continued course improvements. The ownership group has made a commitment that all their capital contributions, plus future capital infusions, must stay with the club for the first five years. The ownership has also committed to all profits from the club being reinvested back into the operations for the same five-year period. We very much want the new membership to be part of this new adventure for the club, making it a place we can all be proud of.
In 2022 the ownership team committed to upgrades to the current irrigation system. This capital improvement project should commence in April of 2023. The upgrades allow for simple computer operations of the entire irrigation system and should assure that proper irrigation of the course is occurring. The project will also include upgrades to the pumps used for the irrigation system. At the end of the 2022 golf season, 7 new pieces of course maintenance equipment were purchased. Another capital investment that was necessary to maintain and focus on continued course improvements. We are excited to have Alex Sherman on board as our new Golf Course Superintendent. Feel free to introduce yourself to Alex. He is always willing to answer any of your questions regarding the maintenance of the course.
As always, we encourage your continued support for the Club and are very excited to build a long-term facility. Without you, the Club will not be the Club that we all envision.
