IRA Township Park is on Meldrum Rd just south of Shortcut Rd.
9-Hole dual tee design
Need a couple experienced dgers to help me finish up the course (75% complete) and supervise some community service peeps. Also could use some insight/input/ideas on hole #6. The redesign from their original plans has been a challenge and a half but this is the best we could do with what we have to work with.
Contact me at [email protected] or 586-531-2510 if you can make it out there or need more info. FYI, My phone can't access dgcr so don't send me a PM from here since I won't be around a computer till Sunday Night.
After many designs, we have come to an agreement with the parks dept. for the first 9 holes.
The success of the Front 9 will determine if they will add the back nine in the near future. They have a lot of dead or fallen trees in the proposed Back 9 area so it will take some time to get it taken care of safely. The good news is that the Front 9 will not require as much work since we will be using some of the pre-existing trails and will be brush-hogged to shape the fairways. I'll keep you all posted on workdays which is looking to be sometime in May.
Front 9 design:
Most holes are around the 300' in distance.
It was another tough challenge on the design but the land has great potential.:thmbup:
OTHER UPDATES~ Baker's Field Park - No new info. Park is seperate from parks and rec dept. BOC is in charge of the park's future. I haven't seen their design but I heard it is prob a 9-holer.
Columbus Park ~ Still surveying the land. It is almost 400 acres. Contact me and we can take a hike.
Southeast Michigan needs some more courses. I guess a 30 minute drive to willow from the downriver area isn't too bad but I would love some more courses to be in the downriver area.
Ira Township Park is HERE, and East China Township Park is HERE. I think both courses are still in the process of being built. Your gonna want to talk to Donnyv for info on them.
