<\/p>\nThe Quail Golf Course’s major renovations promise improved play and economic benefits for Midland, addressing a local shortage and boosting community engagement.<\/p>\n
MIDLAND, Texas \u2014 The Quail Golf Course has undergone major renovations to help it last for years to come.<\/p>\n
The project has been in the works for about a year. Today, city leaders gathered at the newly renovated course for its ribbon-cutting and were excited to share updates.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe’ve learned that there is really a shortage of opportunities for golfers in Midland. The newly renovated courses are going to provide more opportunities,\u201d said Midland Mayor Lori Blong\u00a0<\/p>\n

The improvements start right near the first tee, with a brand-new putting green.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The renovations include refurbishing all greens and bunkers, regrassing fairways, adding new tee boxes, and upgrading the tenth hole from a par-3 to a par-4.\u00a0<\/p>\n
To keep the grass green, the club added a new irrigation and RO system to improve water quality.<\/p>\n
Golf Course Architect Trey Kemp, who designed the course, said, \u201cThe new irrigation system should last 40\u202650 years. The greens are the same way. They have a lifespan of 25 to 30 years, so we should have another good 30 years out of that\u2026 It’s going to improve the playing quality and everything.\u201d<\/p>\n
Councilwoman-At-Large Robin Poole says the council wanted a \u201cstate-of-the-art golf course\u201d for the community.<\/p>\n
The upgrades enhance golfers\u2019 experience, but they can also bring people to the course.<\/p>\n
\u201cMaking that investment not only is going to benefit those that play golf as a pastime, but it does bring a lot of dollars in the world of philanthropy here, \u201c said Poole. \u201cThere are so many tournaments that occur here every year, and those are a primary moneymaker for a lot of the nonprofits here in Midland.”\u00a0<\/p>\n
The golf course is expected to open to the public on Oct. 30th, 2026.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Quail Golf Course’s major renovations promise improved play and economic benefits for Midland, addressing a local shortage…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":891799,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[71],"tags":[427,99],"class_list":["post-891798","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-golf","tag-golf","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/891798","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=891798"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/891798\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/891799"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=891798"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=891798"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=891798"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
