As we embrace the quieter winter months at The Grizzly, we’re making a few updates to improve your experience now and into the upcoming season. Here’s everything you need to know about our winter operations, including parking changes, adjusted clubhouse hours, and a temporary break for some of our favorite programs.

Parking Changes

We’re excited to share that the temporary parking lot south of the outdoor shelters will be getting a much-needed upgrade! This lot will be closed for grading and resurfacing starting in January, with plans to reopen by late March or early April—just in time for the in-season rush.

During this time, we ask all guests to park in the east lot near the driving range. To accommodate additional parking needs, we’re also relocating the barricades on Paul Flory Way. Thank you for your patience as we make these improvements—we can’t wait for you to see the refreshed lot when it’s finished!

Clubhouse Hours

To streamline operations during the colder months, the Pro Shop and Great 18 Bar & Grill will have the following hours:

  • Monday through Friday: Open from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM.
  • Weekends: Open only when the temperature is forecasted to reach above 45°F.

Weekend closures will be communicated ahead of time via email, so keep an eye on your inbox for updates.

Programs on Hiatus

We know you love our Last Call Trivia Nights and Great 18 Live! music series, and we’re thrilled to announce their return in April. While these programs take a short winter break, we’re busy planning an exciting new addition to the lineup: Singo (Music Bingo) on Thursday nights! Get ready for more fun and entertainment as spring approaches.

Thank you for your continued support and understanding as we prepare for a fantastic season ahead. Stay warm, and we’ll see you at The Grizzly soon!
