Since 1995 there have been many changes to the golf course. Such changes are: construction of new greens on the front nine, irrigation improvements, new fences and bridges, new tee boxes, a new maintenance building, a new parking lot, brand new 70 unit private cart storage building, and updated club cartstorage building, and a 6000 square foot Club House.
