A Better Broken Tee

2026 is off and running, and we’re excited to share important updates at Broken Tee!

Drainage & Soil Remediation Project Begins

We’re happy to announce that all required permits from the State and City of Sheridan were approved last week, and Verde Sports Construction is officially on site. Crews, equipment, and materials have been mobilized, and work is now underway on Holes 1–6 as part of our Drainage/Soil Remediation Project.

Project Timeline: Construction is expected to be completed by May 8, 2026.

Total Cost of Project: $997,697.17

Course Access During Construction

While this work is in progress:

• The Front 9 (Holes 1–9) will be closed
• The Back 9 (Holes 10–18) and the Par 3 Course will remain open

Players wishing to play 18 holes may do so by playing the Back 9 twice. Please book two tee times and allow a 2-hour, 20-minute turn time when scheduling your second tee time.

Scope of the Drainage & Soil Project

This project is a major investment in long-term course conditions and includes:

• Removal and replacement of 6” of unsuitable soils with a sand-based topsoil blend
• Installation of perforated drainage systems and improved catch basins
• Finish grading and re-sodding

Additional Front 9 Improvements

While Holes 1–6 are closed for construction, Holes 7, 8, and 9 will also be temporarily closed so our Agronomics Team can complete additional enhancements, including:

• Leveling the tee box on Hole 7
• Installing cart paths near Holes 7 and 9
• Adding catch basins
• Repairing the bridge near Hole 8

Clubhouse Improvements

In January, we also completed several interior upgrades in the clubhouse. As you visit, you’ll notice fresh interior paint, wood touch-ups, new tile, and wood panel improvements in the Pro Shop, restrooms, and bar area.

We truly appreciate your patience and support while these projects are underway. Your user fees are being reinvested directly back into the course and facility as we continue working toward “A Better Broken Tee.”

Thank you for being part of our golf community—we look forward to welcoming you out on the course!

We’re excited to share that the East Side Pumpstation Project was officially completed on November 6, 2025, wrapping up more than a year of planning and construction. The new pump station was custom-built to meet the unique needs of our property and includes several major upgrades:

• 1,700 gallons-per-minute water output
• Two 75 HP high-efficiency motors with Variable Frequency Drives
• One 7.5 HP sustain pump with a Variable Frequency Drive
• Wye strainer with an automatic flushing filter
• Fertigation relay with multiple ports
• Web-based remote control and monitoring via WaterVision 2.0

Our previous station was installed 28 years ago, and given the harsh conditions it operated under, it’s remarkable that it lasted as long as it did. Broken Tee’s water comes from on-site wells with naturally high levels of salts and bicarbonates, which lead to significant corrosion over time. Below, you’ll see photos of the old basket strainer and pump riser pipe, showing holes, rust, and mineral buildup.

The new station is powder-coated and specially treated to reduce corrosion and mineral deposits, ensuring improved performance and reliability for years to come.

The new pumpstation is equipped with mechanical seals that prevent water from escaping through the tops of the pumps. This helps maintain proper pressure and water flow while also protecting the electrical components and reducing the risk of internal corrosion.

The new pumpstation is much more compact and efficient, as you can see in the photo below. It will save electricity, provide the steady flow and pressure needed to irrigate the east side of the river, and help extend the life of our piping for years to come. Its enhanced filtration and fertigation features will also ensure we deliver the highest-quality water possible to the golf course.

Irrigation truly is the bones of a golf course—without consistent water, there is no course. This project is just one of many improvements underway at Broken Tee as we continue our commitment to remaining one of the premier municipal facilities in the Denver Metro area.

As an Enterprise Fund, we want to thank all of you for your support. We couldn’t make these upgrades without you—your rounds of golf, your time, and your investment in Broken Tee make all the difference. And this is only the beginning of A Better Broken Tee. Keep an eye out for more exciting updates soon.

See you out on the course,
