GOLF CART UPDATE!!!!!!
As mentioned in the Mid Season Member Update, which you can read below, we will be getting a new fleet of EZ-GO golf carts in 2025. Well, you will not have to wait until next year to take these new carts out for a spin on the course. The new carts will arrive around the middle of this month and there will be no increase to the cart fees for the 2024 season. These new carts will feature upgraded premium seats and longer lasting batteries. We cannot wait for you to get behind the wheel of these upgraded carts.

We are excited to finally announce that you can now call in your orders while on the course to the Grill Room.

Golf Course Schedule & Projects
Welcome once again from the Maintenance Department at Silo Point! Fall is here, the weather is beautiful and finally drier. The turf throughout the golf course is growing with a vengeance. Areas that were storm damaged have begun to fill in nicely and we are starting to finally see normality again.
As you have seen our annual leaf battle has begun and once again, we appreciate everyone’s patience as this process is continuous. Please, keep in mind that we make every attempt to remove leaves on the greens, tees, and fairways every day. However, when the leaves are falling rapidly some areas become covered quicker and it is often difficult to blow the same area twice in the same day.
Along with our normal maintenance schedule please keep in mind that fairway and tee aerification will take place on October 16th with cleanup commencing that day as well into the following day or two. Again, we greatly appreciate everyone’s patience with this important agronomic process.
We hope that everyone is enjoying this beautiful time of year here at Silo! Enjoy the best month of golf!! See you out there.
Brett Richards, Golf Course Superintendent
Golf Course Reminders
As we enter our peak golf season we would like to remind everyone of some ways to keep up our pace of play, and keep our golf course in the best condition possible. Pace of play for all rounds are expected to be four hours or less. The target time is 1:50 for the front nine, a five minute turn time, and 2:00 for the back 9. Weekend mornings are especially busy, it is imperative to keep up with the group in front of you. If you see empty holes in front of you, and multiple groups behind, please move forward. We will be monitoring turn times for all groups throughout the week not just on the weekends.
In any event you need assistance with pace of play please feel free to contact the Pro Shop at 203-264-8081 and we will send a member of the Golf Staff out to assist.
Always play ready golf, help your partners by watching their tee shots, be ready to hit when its your turn, and park golf carts in a position close to the next tee. A well paced round is always a more enjoyable one!
We would also like to remind everyone to replace their ball marks on greens, as we have been noticing an increased number of unfixed marks. As always please feel free to speak with the Golf Professional staff if you have any questions, comments, or concerns. Thank you.
Cart Path Reminder
As a friendly reminder please adhere to the Cart Path rules of staying on the cart paths and rough only during play, especially on all Par 3s. No carts are allowed near the greens on any hole. The Maintenance Staff works very hard on keeping the course in tip top shape for the all the members please, do not disrupt their hard work.
