ALA WAI GOLF COURSE DRIVING RANGE TO CLOSE TEMPORARILY

            The City is upgrading the golf cart paths at Ala Wai Golf Course and the scheduled golf cart path replacement at the Ala Wai Driving Range will cause a brief period of interrupted service next week.  The Ala Wai Golf Course Driving Range will be closed from June 24 thru Jun 26.

              The closure is necessary to remove the existing asphalt cart path in the back of the hitting stalls and replace it with concrete.  The City regrets any inconvenience this interruption of service may cause golfers.  For more information contact the Ala Wai Golf Course at 733-7387 or the Ala Wai Golf Course Driving Range at 735-5889.
