Welcome to New Members
The 2026 season is well underway. We have eleven new members and membership currently stands at 108. New members will receive a welcome letter in their email outlining the expectations of the club and member responsibilities.
Irrigation Work at Boulder Muni
As most of you know, the irrigation project at Boulder Muni is well under way with the front nine currently closed and all play taking place on the back nine. Once the front nine work is complete, the back nine will be closed for repairs and all play will take place on the front nine. Winterwood events at Muni will consist of playing the same nine twice until all work is complete.
There are two sets of tees on each tee box. The first nine holes will be played from one set of tees and the second nine holes from the other set of tees. The Handicap Calculator on the GHIN app has been modified to reflect this by showing 18 holes as B9 Twice. Once the front nine opens the GHIN app will be modified again to show F9 Twice. The project is expected to last until September.
Until the completion of the project every event held at BC Muni will have a sign-up deadline one week in advance of play as the golf course is requiring a final count on the Tuesday morning prior to the day of play.
One final note, by playing the same nine twice the course needs some extra care. Please take the time to fix your divots and ball marks!
Nevada Golf (formerly Southern Nevada Golf Association)
With the merger of Nevada’s north and the south golf associations, the SNGA and NNGA are now simply Nevada Golf. As all members of Winterwood receive regular emails from Nevada Golf you are probably aware of some of the benefits being offered. Magazine subscriptions to Golf Digest are now free to Nevada Golf members. Fantasy Golf is also available and gives participants the opportunity to win a $200 gift card. Check your inbox for emails from Nevada Golf or go on their website at nevadagolf.org to learn more.
Charity Classic
The Winterwood Board of Directors has decided not to hold the Charity Classic this year. Given the irrigation project currently underway, it would be too problematic to try to host this annual event. Currently one BCHS student has applied for the scholarship and the Board has voted to award this student the $1000 scholarship.
Cooney Cup
The Cooney Cup will be held March 28 and 29 at Boulder Muni. The format for this tournament will be an Eclectic. This is a 2-day event using net score only. Your score is calculated using the best score on each hole from both days minus an adjusted handicap (two-thirds of your handicap index).
The benefit of this format is that if you have a bad round on day one you have the opportunity to recover on day two.
2026 Schedule
The 2026 schedule has been updated several times since the start of the year. The Tournament Committee is working diligently to find us as many away courses to play this year as possible while the irrigation project at Muni is underway.
To date we have played Boulder Creek, Legacy, and Stallion Mountain. Also under consideration are Mountain Falls in Pahrump and Las Vegas National.
Be sure to check the Winterwood website for the current schedule.
