Phase 1 of the Quail Run golf renovation project at Rio Verde Country Club began April 15 and will continue through October.

The work will primarily impact tees, bunkers and greens.

Contractor Heritage Links will use  a portion of the lower club parking lot for staging for the next few months.

Quail Run holes 9-17 closed as of April 15. Those holes will be off-limits to golfers, walkers and all other non-staff, non-contractor personnel. Closure is due to the bunker and greens sod demolition beginning in that area. Quail Run holes 1-8 and 18 will remain available for play and morning walking until after the Couples Cinco de Mayo tournament Saturday, May 4.

Morning walking program areas that are off-limits will be clearly marked with signs. Walkers who enjoy the morning walking program may continue to walk on White Wing Golf Course throughout the project. Walkers using the open holes should be off the courses by 7 a.m.

Member safety is important, and the club appreciates cooperation with the walking program adjustments during construction and the grow-in period.

Individuals authorized to be in these areas will wear brightly colored construction vests. The Club will not accept liability that may result from unauthorized trespassing during this project. Monitoring will be ongoing and will include the use of postings, rangers, managers, and unmanned aerial vehicles. Trespassers will be subject to club disciplinary action and other measures.

Construction updates during Project RENEW Phase 1 construction will be posted to the ForeTees App with relevant information. Members who don’t already have the app can download it on the Apple App Store or Google Play Store. Construction-related updates will also be posted on the Rio Verde website. Members with questions or concerns may contact the club at projectrenew@rioverdecc.com.
