Mills Creek Golf Course updates cart path and prepares for summer golf camp

The Sandusky Recreation Board made significant strides in enhancing local recreational facilities during their meeting on May 14, 2025. A key highlight was the positive update on Mills Creek Golf Course, where improvements to the cart path and the introduction of a new greens mower are set to elevate the golfing experience for residents.

Ryan, a representative from the golf course, reported that the grounds crew has successfully maintained the course in excellent condition, making it a popular destination for golfers. The newly finished cart path, designed for both carts and walkers, is expected to minimize damage to the fairways, especially during rainy weather. This improvement allows golfers to enjoy the course while preserving its quality.

Additionally, the board announced the continuation of the summer golf camp, which has already garnered early sign-ups, indicating strong community interest. This program, led by experienced instructor Dave Calatrulio, will run for three weeks, providing young golfers with valuable skills and experience.

In other developments, the board confirmed that Mills Creek Golf Course will remain the home course for both the Saint Mary's and Sandusky high school golf teams, ensuring ongoing support for local youth sports.

The meeting also addressed infrastructure improvements, including the awarding of a contract for the number 5 bridge to Fike Contractors, with work expected to commence soon. Furthermore, the installation of a new irrigation control panel is on the horizon, which will enhance the efficiency of the course's watering system, currently managed manually by staff.

These updates reflect the Recreation Board's commitment to improving community facilities and supporting local sports, promising a vibrant summer for Sandusky residents. As these projects move forward, the board anticipates further enhancements that will benefit the community and promote active lifestyles.
