This is a rendering of what is to come for the future of Vail Golf Club and Nordic bridges. Beginning in early October two new bridges will be installed, one on the 11th hole and the second one on the 17th hole. The new bridges will mirror the bridges located on the 14th & 15th holes.
These aging structures are in dire need of improvement. The railings will be 42" in height and will provide year round safety for all users. The clearance width will be 11 feet for all equipment to pass including a snow cat for winter grooming. New abutments will be installed and creek restoration will take place in those areas. The work is tentatively scheduled to begin October 4th and could be closed from 2-4 weeks. During this work, holes 11-17 will be closed.
The Vail Golf Club will also update the 7th tee box and correct safety issues with the retaining walls in that location. This project will interfere the most with golf. Tentatively scheduled to begin on September 27th, this project will close holes 3-7 for the remainder of the season.
There will be a variety of options for golf through October. After October 5th we will have 6 holes open for play each and every day until the snow falls. Pay attention to this blog for what is available for play. If you are a pass or punch card holder, be sure to get out here before the end of the season. Your pass will not be extended into 2011.
