Hard to imagine it has been 20 years since Clear Creek reopened as a 27 hole golf course. As of 1 October the "newest 9", Panther Claw will be closed down. I remember the day Leon LaPote toddled up to the green tee, hit his yellow ball off of Armadillo 1, and proclaimed the course open. They even put a plaque in 1 fairway. Oh well, the only constant is change, and yes, irrigation and maintenance are expensive. Play is way down and it cant be al blamed on covid, this has been a couple years in the making I am told.
