Walk bridge from 8 Green to 9th tee

The walking bridge that carries members from the 8th green to the 9th the will be closed until further notice.  The planks were scheduled for repair this fall, as many had become weak and loose.  We have been studying this bridge for some time as we have pilings that are starting to deteriorate to the point they not longer support the railing.  The walking planks are a special cut of lumber that is 2" dimensional thickness ( not standard 2x4) that we must special order, same for the bridges on 15.

We had started the replacement of the treads when it became apparent the supporting runners for the treads have rotted away.  So much so that we are unable to secure the new treads to the runners.  At this time we are looking at options and evaluating the best move forward.  Until we consult someone better suited for this task, we will have this bridge closed to traffic.

I will continue to update this site for information on resolutions and any progress towards re-opening.
