We know, we know — it’s a little hard to hear over the wind! Again, our apologies, but what can you do… we are, after all, the second highest point in Oxford County!

Check out the transcript below for a breakdown of Steve’s update.

“We are at The Oxford Hills, standing on new green 16, overlooking the new pond that was created a few months ago now. And as you can see below us, it’s starting to fill up slightly. We’re expecting to fill that up by spring, with spring run-off mostly, and we’ve tiled from the next-door farm into the pond as well to capture as much water as we can from the surrounding area. Overlooking, you can kind of see behind me, that’s the 16th green showing and 18th green will be behind these pine trees just off to the left, to the left of the tractor. It’s kind of hard to see but that large pine… spruce tree, in the far distance, there’s a fence around it, that’s where the old clubhouse was and the clubhouse has been demolished. We’re ready for foundations within the next 2 to 3 weeks… we hope to get foundation started inside, before winter comes hard and the snow comes. Let’s hope that happens. As you can see in general, things are starting to finish. They are doing the last final grading and this week, by the end of the week, we hope to have most of those dark areas, black areas, in grass…most of it will be sod coming, so the greens are all freshly sodded and the surrounding areas, fairways will be all in sod and the rest will be seeded around the outside of the fairways. In general, we’ve opened up this hole 16 to get a great view over the course in both directions, and recently, we’ve opened up towards the east so we can see from up here far distance into the east of Oxford County. My favourite time I’m here… this is one of my favourite spots. Before, this was all overgrown and this turned into one of my best look-out points that I’ve seen so far.”
