Richardson City Council discussed plans for four future renovation projects at Sherrill Park Golf Course during a July 18 work session.
Sherrill Park’s second golf course is the first renovation project for the city. After being renovated in 2001, the course is expected to undergo a number of improvements, including resolving major drainage issues, increasing playability, and improving turf and vegetation, according to City Council documents. The renovation on Course 2 is projected to cost nearly $7.1 million and is expected to last from January to October 2024.
Richardson Chief Financial Officer Kent Pfeil said the city is also planning reconstruction of three bathrooms on the golf courses, including two on Course 1. Each of the restrooms are at least 20 years old, with each redecoration to add sinks into the location. Construction on the Course 1 restrooms is projected to last from January to April 2023.
In addition, Pfiel said they are hoping to build a new 5,000-square-foot maintenance barn to replace the existing one, which was built in 1973 and has limited space. The new facility would contain two equipment lifts in addition to a break room/conference room, according to city documents.
