Royal Oak Golf Center Gets $1.4M In Renovations
Owners of the Royal Oak Golf Center spent more than $1 million adding additional heated tees and other upgrades.
ROYAL OAK, MI — Nearly two dozen additional heated tees and a mini-golf makeover highlight changes to the Royal Oak Golf Center. Owners of the Edgar Avenue facility spent $1.4 on renovations in hopes of drawing more golfers longing for a place to practice and have fun.
One of the biggest changes was an additional 22 covered and heated tees on the driving range, bringing the total to 32. A cinder-block wall keeps cold winter winds out, while new windows cool golfers in the summer. The wall’s construction permits more covered tees to be added if they prove popular. In addition, there are 53 open-air tees.
“While this was already a year-round facility, it is really a year-round facility,” said Glenn Pulice, general manager of Royal Oak Golf Center. Pulice walked over to the mini-golf course with its mountains, waterfalls and safari ambiance.
