City Council Special Meeting March 31st

What an exciting update to kick off the 2026 season! We are happy to share that the new restroom facilities near Hole 3, Hole 7, and the Tiki Hut has officially been completed.

A big thank you goes out to Martin Construction, McCarthy Trenching, and the additional subcontractors for all of their hard work and dedication in helping complete this project!

We would also like to thank Culture & Recreation Board members Dan Rold, Sean Christensen, and Chris Petersen for donating their time to reshingle the Tiki Hut. A special thank you to Chris for also serving as the project manager throughout this effort.

This improvement enhances the experience for both local golfers and visitors by providing modern, convenient amenities that support one of our community’s valued recreational assets.
