On Thursday, June 29, 2023, nearly two years to the day the course closed to begin work, KickingBird Golf will celebrate the completed transformational renovation of the facility with a ribbon cutting and tours for invitation-only guests and a public open house. Among the significant improvements made during the $21 million project are a new clubhouse, new special events center, range entertainment pavilion, indoor teaching facility, short game practice area and expanded driving range. The golf course renovation includes all new greens, laser leveled tee boxes, new Tahoma 31 Bermuda grass fairways, and a new irrigation system. These facilities will redefine the municipal golf experience and position KickingBird Golf as one of the premier public golf facilities in the region.
