Englewood City officials are gearing up for significant enhancements at Broken Tee Golf Course, following an informational meeting held on February 20, 2025. Golf manager Shannon Buccio and superintendent Jeremiah Stumpf introduced Rick Phelps, a seasoned golf course designer, who shared insights on a comprehensive master plan aimed at revitalizing the facility.

Phelps, who has deep personal ties to the course, emphasized the importance of modernizing the golf experience to keep it relevant for future generations. His assessment, conducted over the past year, involved a thorough inventory of the entire 27-hole course and surrounding areas. The goal is to create a vibrant and effective golfing environment for the next 50 years, adapting to the evolving nature of the sport.

The master plan serves as a guidebook and budgeting tool for city leadership, outlining potential improvements over the next 5 to 15 years. Key areas of focus include bunker placement, hole lengths, and overall course layout. While the plan does not guarantee immediate construction, it sets the stage for future enhancements, contingent on financial viability and continued interest in golf.

The meeting also provided an opportunity for community engagement, with Phelps encouraging feedback from local golfers and residents. As the city looks to implement these improvements, the emphasis remains on fostering a thriving golfing community that can adapt to changing trends and preferences. The next steps will depend on ongoing support and participation from the public, ensuring that Broken Tee continues to be a cherished destination for golfers in Englewood.
