Aug. 27, 1999
Due to extreme weather conditions during the spring and summer of 1999, the
Warren Golf Course at Notre Dame will now be opening for play in the spring
of 2000, course general manager Bryan Godfrey announced today.
The combination of heavy spring rains and the extended drought during the
summer have pushed the project back a few months, from the previously
intended late-fall opening.
"The fairways and roughs were hit the hardest by the poor weather
conditions," said Godfrey. "But we are encouraged by the progress of many
areas of the course and especially the tees and greens. The overseeding of
the fairways began in mid-August and will continue for the next few weeks.
If all goes well, the course will be in good shape by late spring, and will
only get better with time."
The Warren Golf Course clubhouse is now open to the public, and the golf
shop is stocked with Notre Dame Golf merchandise for sale. The snack shop,
which is located in the clubhouse, is also open for lunch throughout the
week.
