Municipal golf course in Oklahoma set for $2.2 million renovation that will replace all 18 greens

BARTLESVILLE, Okla. — Adams Municipal Golf Course is set for its largest financial investment since its inception, including a leadership transition and a multi-million dollar greens rebuild project.
The course, established in 1963 and originally costing $317,000 or approximately $3.3 million in today’s money, was completely funded through private donations. This time, less than a quarter of the new project is funded with donations, the rest through taxpayer dollars.
The most recent greens at Adams were rebuilt in 2000, while the remaining greens, which are original to the course, date back to the opening in 1963.
“Generally, the serviceable life for greens is around 20 years before maintenance becomes difficult and playability degrades”

Funny I was just thinking about this course the other day. Have not played there in 25 years. my recollection is that is was a pretty nice piece of property and a fairly no nonsense routing that could probably turn into something very nice.

Any word on who will be doing the work?
