GOLF <br />Front Range golf courses still <br />rebuilding after last year's floods <br />By Adrian Dater <br />The Denver Post <br />POSTED: 06/18/2014 12:01:00 AM MDT <br />The floods that ravaged Front Range cities last September did a number on numerous golfers' favorite places, but none <br />more than Louisville's Coal Creek Golf Course, above, shown getting landscaped. After receiving $5 million worth of repairs, <br />it is scheduled to reopen next spring (Jamie Cotton. Special to the Denver Post) <br />Coal Creek Golf Course in Louisville did its job as a conduit for draining water during the <br />massive flooding that hit Colorado last September. Much of the floodwater seeped <br />downward from the hilly slopes of the course, away from other, more public spaces. That is <br />what engineers planned when they designed the course in 1989. But the course was <br />designed to withstand only a "loo -year flood," not the epic storm that hit. <br />So, while Coal Creek helped absorb damage that might have been more serious elsewhere, <br />the course itself was essentially destroyed. It's the task of Louisville park project manager <br />Allan Gill to oversee the $5 million renovation of the 16o -acre, 18 -hole public course, but it <br />won't reopen until next spring. <br />"There was such volume of water, it churned up the soil and tore things up," Gill said. "We <br />lost three bridges, one that was washed downstream 100 yards. We lost 65 percent of our <br />irrigation system. All but three holes were totally destroyed." <br />13 <br />
