Sponsors of Eads Golf Greens Recognized

It’s been a long time coming. In March, 2002 things started into motion on converting sand greens into grass greens along with the grass tee boxes. The Eads Golf Association would like to show, their appreciation to all the many volunteers for the effort and time on developing the greens and tee boxes. It has been a great and responsive effort by all of the community. It will be an asset to the town and county as it continues to grow and expand. The new grass greens were open for play in September of 2003, after nearly a year of golfers holding off their game while the greens were groomed into condition.

We invite everybody to come and play the new course and see the improvements that were made. Green fees are $9 for 9 holes or $15 for all day play. Some upcoming open tournaments that you can attend to check out the new course are June 5 Scotch doubles; June 27 the 2 man scramble, July 18 the 4 man scramble and August 7 and 8 is the best ball.

 

We would also like to thank the following for their sponsorship on developing the grass greens: Green #1 Valley State Bank; Green #2 George Crow; Green #3 Kiowa County; Green #4 (men) Town of Eads and (ladies) Eads Women's Golf; Green #5 Eads Consumers Supply; Green #6 Kiowa County Economic Development Foundation; Green #7 Kiowa County Recreation Central District; Green #8 Eads School District RE 1 and Kiowa County Little Britches Committee; Green #9 Bartlett & Company and Kiowa Healthmart; Green #11 Pine Tree Car Wash, Eads Auto Supply and Crows Stop & Shop; Green #12 Kit Carson State Bank, Eads Chamber of Commerce and Michael's Service Center and Café; Green #18 South East Colorado Power Association and Richard Berger

We also had many other contributors who donated money, time effort and material on the project, and continue to put in the time to maintain the greens for everyone’s enjoyment. The course is in great condition thanks to the volunteers whose hard work and dedication has resulted in one of the finest courses in the area.
