The Sand Springs, Okla. City Council approved two resolutions during an October 28 council meeting which put into play construction plans to improve the Canyons at Blackjack Ridge Golf Club, the Tulsa World reported. The approved plans propel new contracts which are funded by the 2018 general obligation bond measure, which allocated $2 million to make needed improvements to the city’s course.

“These initial improvements will concentrate on the interior bones of the facility as well as the underground infrastructure work throughout the course,” said Jeff Edwards, Parks Director for the City. “We’re building the foundation of the future for this facility. In doing this difficult work up front, we’ll create seamless transition options for future improvements with minimal downtime in course play.”

Approximately $1 million of the funding will be invested on a significant clubhouse remodel project, the World reported. The work will produce a much more modern, space-efficient layout for the pro shop, event space and golf course grill operations including a fresh look to the clubhouse overall.

The remainder of funds will be invested into a modernized and automated irrigation system, golf green replacement package and more, the World reported.

“These improvements will play a major role in our goal to offer the best possible golfing experience we can,” Brian Talley, Director of Golf for the city, told the World. All of this work will commence before the year’s end.

The Canyons at Blackjack Ridge expects to close for play during the spring and summer months of 2020, the World reported.

Staff will operate from a mobile office to keep the golf course open until the course construction company mobilizes and commences work, the World reported. The golf course itself is slated to be closed from late February 2020 through much of the summer, hopefully reopening before Labor Day.

The golf professionals at the Canyons and City Parks staff are already planning a special event when the course reopens before the fall of 2020.
