Happy New Year!

2021 Recap

Happy New Year from the TRA! What a busy year we had in 2021. We saw an increase in memberships, green fee golfers and tournaments throughout the year. Sand volleyball had another fun year with league play and tournaments. A lot of new things happened throughout the year as well. Below is a recap of the 2021 season at the TRA: 

  • Tee box sponsor signs were up for renewal. The board voted to look into new tee box signs in addition to the sponsorship signs. New signs will be out by Spring 2022. 
  • New scorecards were also updated.
  • Iowa Golf Association was out early this spring and reevaluated the golf course. This changed a little bit in the order of handicap system for the holes. There were a couple of our new tee boxes added and all of the yardages were verified. New markers were placed on the tee boxes as well as new markers along the fairways. This visit also updated the TRA course on GHIN and online GPS apps.
  • A new greens mower and new fairway mower were purchased. 
  • Rental carts were new this year from Miller & Sons out of Omaha. Speeds, out of Wall Lake, agreed to let us out of our contract at no cost. We ended up renting 24 carts and a utility cart from Miller. The carts will be stored locally allowing us to put them into service as soon as spring weather arrives.
  • The fairways were seeded again this fall. Fertilizer and chemicals were put down throughout the year to keep everything looking green and weed free. 
  • Greens were tined early spring and aerated (plugged) this fall. This has really done a lot for the greens and it shows. 
  • Volunteers put in a lot of time! Thanks to everyone for their volunteer hours -- everything from help with chemicals, maintaining equipment, repairing equipment, and countless hours working on the irrigation system. Many board members spend their volunteer time repairing equipment and working on the course, which saves the TRA a lot of money. 
  • We are in the process of working with Fairview Golf Course in Malvern to hire a shared greenkeeper. This is all still in the preliminary stage at this point. 
  • The well on hole #3 is getting fixed so that we have another water source to help keep the pond full when we are irrigating more during the hot days of the summer.
  • We purchased a new freezer and replaced the vent hood system in the clubhouse.
  • New board members were elected at the annual November meeting. Welcome to Chris Chambers, who will take over as Secretary/Treasurer and Darrin White who will take over the volleyball league.  Leaving the board is Roy Gravett who had extended his term a year to help with transition, Aaron Andersen and Dean Geise. 
  • At the December board meeting, changes to a few rates were discussed and approved. Corporate membership price will increase to $700 plus tax, member cart lease will increase to $325 plus tax, and a $5 daily trail fee will be enforced to non-members who bring their own cart.


I want to thank Troy and Kevin for all of the work they have put in this last year. You can definitely see that their hard work has paid off on how nice the course looks.


Roy Gravett thinks it’s time to step down as a board member but will still be a “volunteer” worker on the course. Roy has been a huge help for well over 30 years on and off the TRA Board. Thanks to Roy for everything he has done and will continue to help with. Dean Giese has also been a huge help in the maintenance side of our equipment. Dean decided to step down as a board member in November and we thank him for all of the work to keep us up and running. Thanks to all of the other board members that have helped out to keep things moving. It does truly take a village to keep our course in the shape that it is in.


Thanks to Ronda and her staff for keeping the clubhouse running and serving our customers. It’s not as easy as you think to operate and maintain. Ronda will be returning as manager for the 2022 season, and we look forward to her leadership and weekly specials.


Looking forward already to the green grass of spring,


Bryce Poland

Board President

Speaking of Carts

Speaking of Carts

Please make sure your children under the age of 16 are not driving TRA owned golf carts. This is a safety hazard and could jeopardize the TRA's insurance on our carts. Likewise, personally owned carts should not be operated on the streets by children younger than 16.

Green Upkeep

Speaking of Carts

The greens are coming around and our staff is working hard to treat the spots. We could use your help with our green conditions and ask that you repair your divots and park carts 15 foot away from the fringe.

We wish to stress that group size should be limited when golfing. Five-somes are allowed on occasion with approval, but no more than that is allowed.


Many of the USGA Rules changed in late 2018 for the 2019 season, which still might be a bit confusing for some. A summary of those rules are explained in a short 4-minute USGA Video.

  Thank you to those that have adopted tee box landscaping! There are still a few left for you or a group to adopt. Our tee boxes can be the beauty and pride of our golf course and we have had many adopt them over the years. The adoption would require maintenance throughout the year to keep them looking good. A sponsor sign is allowed within the flower bed or landscaped area of your adopted hole. Signs should be no larger than 5x7 and should be in good taste.

April 1, 2020 Statement: Golf is Allowed

Social Distancing Measures Taken

Hello TRA Members & Guests! 


These are unusual times, but we are happy that the golf course is still open for play! The clubhouse is also offering take-out during their hours, which are currently 9 a.m. to close (weather permitting). They also have lunch specials, which can be found on the TRA Facebook page.


We are doing everything we can to keep you and our staff safe, which includes extra cleaning and sanitation inside the clubhouse and sanitizing the carts & keys after each use.


If you are a paid member with your own cart and don't need anything in the clubhouse, we ask that you call 712-318-6216 to have them sign in for you before you go out. If you need a beverage, food or cart, please come inside, keeping the proper distance from others, and the staff will assist you. You can always call in with your credit card information and they can get things ready for you ahead of time.


In order to practice social distancing, you may feel the need to rent two carts. The cost to rent a cart is a "per cart" price. See rates page for details.


We will try to keep score cards available at the #2 tee mailbox if you need a new card.


Please do not remove flag sticks from any hole on the greens. We have put rings around the pins on each hole to keep your ball from going in too far. You should be able to remove your ball without touching surrounding surfaces. 


Please also note that the bathrooms on the golf course are currently closed.


We welcome you all to come play at the TRA. Please remember the social distancing regulations that are in place to help keep us all healthy and well. 

March 2020 News

Course Will Open When Weather Permits

It is finally spring, but the weather isn't quite cooperating just yet to open the golf course. As soon as it warms up, the course will be open. We do think that golf is a safe sport to play during this time of required social distancing.  Even though we can't have customers hanging out in the clubhouse, being outdoors is a safe environment. Please call the clubhouse before coming to play to ensure it is open. 712-318-6216 is our new number. 

Clubhouse Hours

With COVID-19 restricting our restaurant business, we are reducing our hours to carryout or curbside delivery from 11:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. WEEKDAYS ONLY until the course is open. Call to pre-order your lunch 712-318-6216. We can call or text you when the order is ready. Check out Facebook for lunch specials or see our menu for food options (salad bar not available at this time). 

Pay your Dues Please

Please make sure you pay your dues and cart fees before playing. If you do not know how much you owe, please contact Membership Director Tandy Bailey at golfmanbailey@yahoo.com or 402-651-0352. Return your invoice with check to PO Box 338, Treynor, IA 51575, stop into the clubhouse during hours of operation to pay with credit card or use the TRA's PayPal account to make your payment.
