Only one week after unprecedented flood waters peaked on the Three Hills Golf Course, things are looking good and golfers are breathing a sigh of relief.

According to Course Manager Aaron Tullikopf, about 50 volunteers arrived at the Golf Course at 9 am on Saturday, April 28 and worked until 1 pm clearing debris from the course, filling three large dumpsters with more debris that had to be moved later.

At present, volunteers are busy cleaning dried silt and cart path gravel off the fairways.
