ADOPT-A-HOLE& VOLUNTEER PROJECTS
We’re looking to significantly increase our Adopt a Hole Force this year – increasing our team size to 5 volunteers per hole to improve efficiency and consistency. By adopting a hole, you will become a crucial part of the golfing community, providing ongoing support for the golf course and helping players have the best golfing experience possible.
There are 4 primary goals for this program to best assist and work cohesively with our Golf Superintendent and Maintenance Crew:
- Fill Divots – fill tee and fairway divots with the provided sand and seed mixture on tees and fairways
- Repair Ball/Pitch Marks* – specifically on the greens and the first-cut apron around the green
- Pick up discarded tees – par 3 tee boxes are especially inundated with broken tees
- Discard Trash – collect paper trash and debris that can be placed in trash containers or pick-up zones
Volunteer Events
Weeding Wednesdays!
Weeding Wednesdays began in 2024 when neighbors were interested in pulling noxious weeds around the golf course. This evolved to include removing all weeds from the clubhouse, adding mulch, and trimming shrubs and trees. A few of us filled and maintained the garden pots on the clubhouse deck and planted 100 daffodil bulbs at the entrance to the club.
We are currently scheduling projects for 2025. We typically schedule golf course projects on Wednesday mornings, when the golf course is closed until 10:00 a.m. For more information, contact Susan at esc2bend@gmail.com, with “Weeding” in the subject line
We have invested in a number of upgrades over the past year but the condition of our tees and greens is critical to making River’s Edge the best, local, and public golf course in Bend.
Not looking for a steady gig? We do projects all the time and always need volunteers to help. If you are interested let us know.
Make a difference today by joining the Adopt a Hole team! Questions? Send an email to lori@riversedgegolfbend.com.
River’s Edge is a community-owned course and is operated
