City chooses architect for MAJOR renovation of Starcke Park Golf Course Darren Dunn
(Seguin) -- The Max Starcke Park Golf Course is slated to eventually undergo a total overhaul. The Seguin City Council has taken another step toward that major renovation plan, which will see the golf course close for months. The council last week agreed to hire Ross Golf Design to handle the architectural designs for the updated course, and to
oversee the construction that will be needed in Starcke Park. Bruce Allen, general manager of the city’s Starcke Park Golf Course, says this is the next step in the city’s plan to create a first-rate golf course for the community. He says what started as an irrigation improvement project, eventually grew into a much bigger plan for the golf course.

“About a year ago, the council approved $1.5 million of American Rescue Plan Act, ARPA funds for irrigation improvement. With that in mind, we hired the National Golf Foundation to come and do a survey of the golf course to see what else we needed, and they presented their findings to the council in August, and they recommended a tee-to-
green renovation. The first step of that is the architect selection and that’s why we’re here tonight,” said Allen. Allen says when they started looking at the irrigation work, it immediately became clear that they needed to do much more than that. He says that’s why they are opting for a total overhaul of the entire golf course. Starcke, pg. 3
