Officially open

The course is now officially OPEN for play. There is no charge to play and you do not need to book tee times. We do ask that you pack out what you pack in and if you see any garbage on the course, please pick it up. This course is for everyone and so we ask that everyone helps out in taking care of this brand new, beautiful course that is David’s legacy.

Big News About the Course!

Work started on the course last week with the den and nest sweep. Over 70 nests were discovered in the park!

The contractors are in and working today, with the first step being the parking lot. It’s so exciting to be in construction mode and the park will be complete before we know it!
