Update on Edgebrook Golf Course

The program at the last meeting was Gary Moen, along with Jerry Johnson, giving an update on improvements and activities at Edgebrook Golf Course. Currently the golf course has seen an increase in membership, now totaling over 270 members.  

A recent $300,000 investment was made into improving the drainage and water system, and several new programs have been added.  

The First Tee program includes children aged kindergarten to fifth grade learning about the game of golf, as well as improving character and learning important life skills. Last year, 210 children attended this program.
