The Silverbell Golf Course at 3600 N. Silverbell Road (Tucson, Ariz.) was closed for renovations.
Local golf architect Ken Kavanaugh, who worked on the renovations at the Trini Alvarez-El Rio Golf Course, will work with Tucson City Golf at Silverbell. The course should be open by the end of the year, Kavanaugh said.
"It's hard to give a specific date because of weather factors," Kavanaugh said.
Five holes on the course - Nos. 3, 4, 6, 13 and 16 - are on an old landfill and they will be changed, as will Nos. 5, 7 and 17, said Mike Hayes, the city's deputy parks director in charge of golf operations.
"It's not going to be like El Rio, where we kept the same layout but did major work on the irrigation, fairways and greens," Hayes said. "Silverbell is going to be a different course when we are done, a better course."
