The gist
At a Dec. 3 meeting, Missouri City City Council approved a nearly $5.63 million contract with Greenscapes Six LLC for the La Quinta Golf Course Renovations and Drainage Improvement Project. The course was constructed in 1970 and is located in the Quail Valley community at 2880 La Quinta Drive, Missouri City.
Project funds are a part of the city’s November 2021 voter-approved bond that funded $85.85 million in projects, including $23.02 million in park projects, Community Impact reported.
Zooming in
The project will regrade and reshape all 18 holes including installing new green, fairways and bunkers, according to agenda documents. The project will also:
- Add drainage improvements, such as detention storage
- Remove and replant trees
- Replace irrigation
The project is also slated to include cart path replacement for an additional $1.38 million, although this part of the project is still under evaluation, according to agenda documents.
The cart path work is expected to return for council authorization in spring 2025, according to agenda documents.
What's next?
Construction is expected to begin in January and will wrap up in June, although the course won’t open to the public until December or January 2026 due to grass grow-in time, Public Works Director Shashi Kumar said.
