Design work has begun for proposed improvements to Olympia Hills Golf & Event Center, located at 12900 Mt Olympus in Universal City.
On Oct. 21, National Golf Foundation consultant Nathan Crace provided Universal City council and staff with his current assessment of the course. Council approved a contract with Crace for design and bid process work in August, with the main elements of the project being course bunkers, irrigation and tees.
What you need to know: Crace said the top priority is course bunkers, working with almost 2 acres of the golf trap across the course. Current plans, he said, call for the removal of two of the course’s 52 bunkers, while also shrinking some oversized bunkers. The move would make the course more “user-friendly,” while also reallocating some man-hours for course employees, Crace said.
Crace said weather is also a factor with bunker renovation. The current plan is to use a new concrete base liner on the bottom of bunkers making cleanup less of an undertaking.
