More From Warmouth Sands

In last week's issue of The Advance we introduced the new golf course coming to the area as Warmouth Sands that is currently under construction on Ezra Talyor Road at the Vidalia Regional Sports Complex. This week we wanted to show you a bit more about the course and what is part of the project.

With the new name the Golf Authority have also come up with the logo and the branding for the course. There are also now Facebook and Instagram pages that you can follow to keep up with the course progress; just search for the course name on either app.

Along with the course will be a pro shop and club house. The city Sweet Onion Golf Authority describes it as, “An innovative clubhouse where Top-Golf meets golf course. Enjoy a pro shop, dining area, double decker hitting range, practice area, and learning center all in one.”

The Golf Authority is made up of Chairman Andy Woodruff, along with continued from page

Chad Barker, Lisa Chesser, Monroe Goss, Angela Lane, Kareem Owens, and Jacob Woodfin.

On the front side will be the pro shop and dining area and putting green. On the back will be the double decker hitting and practice range.

The course is an 18 hole layout that from the back tees will reach 7,295 yards. From the front tees it will be 5,804 yards. There will be four sets of tees to choose from to match your level of play, and it will be a par 72 course.

Rec Dept.

The Vidalia Recreation Department has also applied for a separate grant to do more work on the Regional Sports Complex. Director Scott Strickland said that the Recreation Department has a good feeling about the grant and are hoping to find out whether they have been awarded it by the end of April.

This grant will cover working on the existing two fields that are at the facility, turning them into multipurpose fields and taking the fencing down. They are hoping to also build three additional multipurpose fields on the lot behind the current fields along with paving sidewalks and adding playground equipment.
