wasps on the course

[Dayzee]

I just wanted to give you all a heads-up - There is a serious problem with wasps on the Sand Hill golf course. Maintenance has not been able to locate the nest(s). We thought that once we teed off we would be leaving them behind but they seemed to follow us around the course. At times, we had 3 or 4 wasps inside and/or around the cart. Some areas are worse than others. I know that there are many people who are allergic, so please be careful, you may want to avoid playing there until the problem is resolved.

Were they wasps or hornets?

Wasps - no doubt.

I had a 12:35 tee time and they were with us the entire round. Plenty of them, and they were aggressive. If you are allergic avoid Sandhill till they clear up the problem.

We played Sandhill on Monday at 9:08 and didn't see any wasps. However, it was chilly that morning so maybe that had something to do with it.

Quiet ! Good excuse for slow play..
Hey didn't you see all the post about all the wasp on Sandhill
Cut me some slack

[Irishmen]

Good point in case someone is major allergic. OP may just have saved a life!

[karostay]

I agree..Sorry bad joke

[Irishmen]

Karo I thought that was hilarious....I was just saying its good info who may have allergic reaction....

Yep, I played Sandhill late this afternoon. Wasp in the cart at 6 and 8. To his credit, the starter did warn everyone about the wasps.

I would guess the warm weather brought the wasps out at Sandhill. Last spring in early March there was a bee problem at Arnold Palmer course.

Played Bonita Pass today in the afternoon and wasps were following the cart all the way

Thanks for the heads up Dayzee, I'm most appreciative. I was supposed to play Sandhill today and cancelled. I have a serious allergy to wasps, and have to go to Emerg if I get stung.

You are welcome Barefoot. I am not allergic but fully understand how dangerous a sting can be for those who are. Hopefully maintenance will locate the nest(s) and take care of the problem.

Deathly allergic to venom stings and have an Epipen in every pocket of the golf bag hoping it might give me one more chance to live if stung. Thanks for the heads up!

[Lpierleo]

Also appreciate the heads up as my husband is highly allergic as well. Thank you.
