Tempe asks for input on golf course changes
Posted
Independent Newsmedia
The city of Tempe is offering residents one last chance to give feedback about proposed changes to the Rolling Hills Golf Course.
Earlier this year, the Tempe City Council unanimously authorized the city to begin negotiating with Glass Clippings, Inc. on a land lease to broaden and improve the Rolling Hills playing experience as part of the city’s commitment to community-based golf.
An overview of the project details and site plan can be found on the Grass Clippings website. The proposed design includes a new 19-hole golf course designed by Scottsdale National’s Jackson Kahn Design, lighted practice facilities, a community gathering place, family activity lawn, and Baja inspired food and beverage operations.
The site plan reduces the turf area by 35% and reduces the golf footprint by 15 acres, jointly focusing on sustainable use of water and opening up other recreational possibilities.
