It was a heartbreaking morning for staff and members of The Skenandoa Club in Clinton.

The staff woke up to find their beloved golf course heavily vandalized overnight. According to Michael Intartaglia, a key figure in the club’s operations, someone drove a car or truck directly onto the course, causing extensive damage on July 1st.

The vehicle reportedly tore through the fairway and tees on hole 9, ripped through a bunker, and even left tracks across the green on hole 8. “I’m literally sick to my stomach,” Intartaglia wrote in a public post. “We work so hard to keep our course immaculate.”

The post has since gone viral among local golfers and community members, many of whom shared in the outrage. One commenter wrote, “Absolutely disgusting. The amount of work that goes into that course is unreal.” Another added, “Find them and prosecute to the full extent.” The community’s support has been strong, with several urging those responsible to come forward or be held accountable.
