For nearly 30 years, city officials in Irving, Texas have struggled to deal with major problems at the Twin Wells Golf Course. Built in 1988 on a landfill in a flood plain, the 29-year-old course is often underwater, leading to mosquitoes, cracked pathways and sinkholes, the Dallas Morning News reported.

Now city officials are stepping up with a $5 million plan in three phases to rescue the beleaguered course.
