South Grand Ave. Extension?
- Thread starter Cytom5
- Start date
i doubt that would happen since coldwater is in the way and that new apartment complex just went up east of the christian school.
It's going to happen. You can go to the city of Ames website and look at the plan and see how they are moving things around.
The Grand Ave extension will pretty much follow the old rail bed/current trail that is there, and Cold water was told this was the future plan when they put the golf course in. The Council Action Form was just for about 400 feet of the extension, not the entire thing...that 400 feet has already been completed, I believe, and is just west of the new apartments out there. The entire project, I thought I heard, has been put off due to lack of funding, but it will happen someday.
At least. My guess is it will be awhile. Federal money is going to be hard to come by for a few years.
At least now when I hook my drive off the first tee I have a chance to have it go off a building and back into playable territory.
And I'll be interested to see what Coldwater does when that happens. Holes 2-8 would all be on the other side of the 4 lane which would make for some interesting golfing.

The less athletic golfers who can't dodge oncoming traffic will be culled from the herd, it's nature.
Much longer than that. It had been scheduled to be completed in 2014-2015. The 2011-2012 part was mainly just land acquisition and planning.

I'll leave a beer on the tee box for you if I hit a window. You'll have to go get it though.
and 3truefans, in that case, I have a BUNCH of people I'm suddenly cool with bringing to the golf course.
