For those of you who play Eagle Crest, this is not exactly the fabulous news it appears to be.

The parking lot at the course has been severely damaged and I suspect that many of us will be parking at the Marriott to play there this year. A long way away to be sure.

The hill behind centerfield at Oestrike last year was relocated to the right side of hole ten and the process was seamless, it improved the course with ZERO disruption. Unfortunately, while the construction group of the new golf facility used the unneeded earth to fill in the area around the 12 tee and 13 green, they absolutely destroyed the cart path and irrigation from hole 18 and down hole 12 as well.

It is a total mess! How bad? I have never started my "job" at Eagle Crest in the past prior to mid-April. This year, however, I will be reporting for work in less than two weeks on March 13. Cleanup, baby!

Couple questions/thoughts....

I'm glad the school has this building going up. Hard to imagine other MAC schools have this type if facility which should lead to better recruits and more championships.

Is this facility solely for the use of EMU athletes? sounded like it was a multi use facility that they could make money on, correct?

When will it be done?

There are basically two projects. The BIG money is going to the separate building that you have seen on artist renderings. That is for the EMU golf teams.

There is also a clubhouse building addition as well. That will also house simulators and yes, it will make Eagle Crest a year-round facility that generates outside revenue. My guess is that neither will be completed until summer.
