WARM SPRINGS GOLF CLUB CONSTRUCTION PROPOSAL A plush. |8-hole golf course is being constructed on Warm Springs Road one mihs^jff of ..the Strip road exactly five minutes from the Sands Hotel. Warm Springs Golf Club will be a new concept in golf courses designed for the ?╟≤player. This course will be a unique and true test of golf and will be the i only course of its kind in America. The course is being built on sixty acres, which in itself is a great accomplish- ment and unlike any desert golf course. It will feature rolling fairways, .contoured greens, tree-lined fairways. ^Construction started on the golf course on December 13, 1965. The land ^clearing was done by Frank Sullivan's A?╟÷1 Paving Company. Eighteen greens have been roughed in, built and shaped with contours and aprons and grading for proper drainage completed. Twenty-two sand traps have been dug out, shaped and made ready for sand. Three lakes have been dug out along with accompanying streams running from the southwest lake across the property to the northeast lake on the far corner of the property. These lakes and streams total over 90,000 square feet. The bank of the lakes and streams are shaped out and the lakes are now ready for paving and installation of the pumping station for irrigation. The total cost of this operation was $7,110.00 which has been paid in full. Allen Water Well Company on February 8, 1966, began drilling on a well which was completed on March 31, 1966, at a cost of $9,758.00 which has been paid in full. This well is 701 feet deep and is capable of pumping up to two million gallons of water per day, or 3,500 to 4,000 lbs. per miqute. This is double the amount that is needed for complete coverage of the golf course. Ordered and already planted along two fairways are 172 Halapensis Pines aver- aging in height from twelve to fifteen feet, from Cal Trowbridge of Riverside, California. A total of 150 Washingtonia Robusta palms averaging in height from fifteen to twenty feet have been ordered from Dunlap Nurseries in California through Purdy and Fitzpatrick, landscape contractors. Thirty-two palms have been planted along and on the approaches to Nos. 3, 12, I, 10, 2, II, 4, and 13 greens. The balance of these palms will be used in clusters of threes adorning the various areas selected throughout the golf course. Additional trees, pines and palms, have been ordered from Purdy and Fitzpatrick numbering approximately 200. The total cost of this operation was $8,612.80 which has been paid in full.
