Sustainable Grid Energy Comes to Green Acres


Green Acres golfers have already noticed the wind-powered generator just off-shore on the ninth fairway. It has been an important source of power for the Romantic Times region club house and other buildings.

This week we rigged up a second generator with a belt and pulley system connected to the old water wheel you see crossing the bridge on the third fairway. Power lines run to the new light pole by the bridge.

Here's to sustainable electricity sources everywhere! See you at Green Acres Golf Course in the Romantic Times region

Unlucky Thirteen?


The 13th has been a favorite of golfers seeking that hole-in-one thrill, not to mention the recognition that goes with the "Ace" tag at Green Acres Golf.

Previously, golfers drove over the water and lurking beavers. But, they could count on a somewhat forgiving mountain-side behind the green.

No more. Notice the little ice-cold, mountain-side spring pond that's appeared behind the 13th green. Enjoy!
