Rob Stong thought he’d never live to see a renovation of Tiara Rado Golf Course.
Doug Jones wondered if he’d ever have enough water to keep the course in good shape.
Both are getting their wish.
Despite snow covering the course, Tiara Rado is undergoing a $3.5 million renovation that started out with a plan to develop an irrigation system. From there came the decision to go ahead with a master plan that had been in the “maybe someday” drawer for a few years.
Stong, the director of golf at Tiara Rado and Lincoln Park, and Jones, the superintendent for the city courses, can’t wait to see the end result.
