LINCOLN, Neb. (KLKN) \u2014\u00a0Lincoln City Golf on Monday announced two major improvements to its courses over the next year.<\/p>\n
The $2.3 million in Capital Improvement Projects (CIP) include a $400,000 cart path project at Pioneers Golf Course and a $1.9 million irrigation project at Holmes Park Golf Course.<\/p>\n
According to Lincoln City Golf, the cart path project at Pioneers is expected to begin in late October.<\/p>\n
The irrigation project at Holmes Park is already underway and is expected to be completed by spring 2026.<\/p>\n
Wade Foreman, Lincoln City Golf Coordinator, said the Holmes course irrigation system is 40 years old, and the tile pipe is at least 10 years overdue for replacement.<\/p>\n
The new system will use high-density polyethylene pipe, which is expected to last 60 years.<\/p>\n
\u201cCompleting two major improvement projects will set up the courses for long term success,\u201d Foreman said in a press release.<\/p>\n
Funds for the projects come from surcharge fees added to the price of golf at all courses.<\/p>\n
For the 2025-2026 fiscal year, a total of $2.25 will be added to the fees at 18-hole courses, and $1.25 added to the fee at the nine-hole course.<\/p>\n
The surcharges are attributed to two project groups:<\/p>\n
A general CIP surcharge adds $1.25 to all 18-hole green fees and $.75 to the nine-hole green fee.
\nA Pioneers Course irrigation project surcharge adds $1 to the 18-hole green fees and $.50 to the nine-hole green fee.<\/p>\n
