EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The New England Golf Course, a treasured community landmark in New England, North Dakota, has served as a hub for recreation, socialization, and local events for decades. However, time and use have taken their toll, and the course now requires significant rehabilitation to restore its former glory. This case statement outlines the critical need for funds, the benefits of the rehabilitation project, and how contributions will make a lasting impact on the community for generations to come.
INTRODUCTION
The New England Golf Course is more than just a place to play golf; it is a vital part of our community’s fabric. Established in 1965, it has been the site of countless memories, from early morning tee times with friends to hosting charity tournaments that benefit local causes. Despite its rich history, the course’s infrastructure and amenities have deteriorated, necessitating urgent improvements to ensure its sustainability and continued service to the community.

THE NEED FOR REHABILITATION
Over the years, the course has faced numerous challenges, including:
• Aging Infrastructure: The irrigation system, greens, fairways, and bunkers require significant upgrades to meet modern standards.
• Clubhouse Facilities: The clubhouse, a central gathering spot, needs refurbishment to provide a welcoming environment for members and guests.
• Environmental Sustainability: Implementing eco-friendly practices to conserve water, reduce chemical use, and promote biodiversity is essential for long-term sustainability.
• Community Engagement: Enhancing the course will provide more opportunities for local events, youth programs, and community engagement activities.
With a successful completion of the campaign, the New England Golf Course would reopen in 2027!
