Grant City Golf Club Reveals More Plans for Course Renovation

The Grant City Golf Club Board met on March 22nd to make plans for the DNR Grant for the Clubhouse and Community Room as well as renovation to the Golf Course. Janice Borey has submitted the grant to the Missouri DNR and they will know this fall if they have received the grant.

The DNR Grant will pay for a kitchen and handicapped restrooms; however, most of the money must be used for the golf course. This means that the remainder of the money for the building must be raised by the Golf Club.

The Golf Board has drawn up plans for a 40x80 building that will cost approximately $200,000. The Golf Board is seeking donations and pledges for the project. The new building will allow the course to make more money off rental activities.

Some plans for the course itself include replacing old sand with new, tiling the fairway of number two, where there is a standing water problem, installing a new bridge on the east side, making number 7 a pond again, ditching and rock placement, new benches, ball washers, and tee off markers along with landscaping.

Dues this year are $190 (Family), Individual ($120), and Student ($60). Rentals are Electric Cart ($65), and Gas Cart ($60). Green Fees are $10 and Club House Rental is $150.

Board members for this year include Lenny Campbell (President), Ernie Owens (Vice President), Berta Owens (Secretary-Treasurer), Guy Fletchall, Wanda Fletchall, Dave Brown, Megan Brown, Brandon Dunfee, Derek Verbick, Nate Lewis, Catherine Runde, and Tiffany Owens.

The golf season for this year will start with a Men’s Night at 6 pm on May 3rd, followed by a Women’s Night at 5:30 pm on May 15th. A Club Tournament will be held on the 27th; it will be two person best show at 1 pm, with meat provided. The McCrary Benefit will be June 10th this year. A Lodge Benefit will be held on the 17th at 8 am and 1 pm.
