According to reporting by The Decatur Daily, Point Mallard Golf Course is set to receive a major infrastructure upgrade after city officials approved a $1.5 million project to replace the course’s aging irrigation system. The new installation will modernize watering across all fairways and greens, addressing long-standing efficiency issues and improving reliability during the summer months.
The existing system has been in place for decades and has required increasing maintenance in recent years. City leaders say the updated design will allow for more precise water application and better control of turf conditions, reducing waste and helping manage peak-season demand. The work is expected to take place in phases to limit disruptions to regular play.
City staff said the project is part of a broader effort to maintain Point Mallard’s facilities and keep the municipal course competitive with others in the region. Once completed, the new irrigation system is expected to improve course quality, support more consistent turf health, and reduce operational costs over time.
