Six holes at the city-owned Eagle’s Landing golf course will be closed this fall for a flood remediation project, Ocean City officials said last week.
During a budget work session at City Hall, golf course Superintendent Joel McTavish and council Manager Bob Croll, told the City Council to expect a decrease in projected revenues at the golf course for the coming fiscal year.
Beginning in November, a portion of the Eagle’s Landing course will be closed for a tidal flood remediation project they say will affect the number of rounds played at the facility.
“Long story short, November 1 we’re going to close six holes that experience this tidal flooding,” McTavish said, “and some holes we’re actually going to completely redo.”
Last June, the City Council agreed to solicit bids for remediation work at the course, where tidal flooding has affected play at several holes. Three months later, however, the city received three bids, all of which came in over the $2.3 million budget.
