The day before the Las Vegas golf course was scheduled to reopen, the improvements were put to the test when storms swept through the area. The golf course has been redesigned to “withstand a 100-year storm,” giving 1,700 neighboring homeowners peace of mind.

The Club at Sunrise in Las Vegas officially reopened July 1 with added flood protections, Las Vegas Now reported.

The golf course had been closed while undergoing flood control improvements. Those improvements were put to the test the day before the scheduled reopening. After severe storms swept through the area, crews with the golf course arrived at 6 a.m. to clean up. The crews had to make sure the drains were clear of any debris in case it rained again on Friday, Now reported.

The new 18-hole golf course serves many purposes. Golfers can enjoy 6,500 yards of landscaping while 1,700 homeowners are free from worrying about flooding. The golf course has been redesigned to withstand a 100-year storm, Now reported.

An Associated Press report put a $150 million price tag on the project.

People playing on the course when the storms rolled through Thursday said they saw the channel doing what it was designed to do during the storm. Now, golfers are enjoying the new course, Now reported.

“Whatever they’ve don’t to fix it, it’s done a great job because you can tell there was a lot of water that came through last night but it didn’t really affect the actual play,” said golfer Tami Habig.

In 2012, a worker was killed at the golf course, formerly known as Desert Rose when he was swept away by rushing water. The golf course is owned by Clark County, but it’s managed by a private company, Now reported.
