Expansion plans for University Ridge Golf Course got the go-ahead (last week) when the State Building Commission approved spending $5 million for the project.
Plans include building a nine-hole academy course and short-game practice facility, expanding the existing driving range and adding a cross country course for the University of Wisconsin programs.
Funding is not provided by the state. Rather, it is apportioned from revenues at University Ridge as well as gifts. The project will not require the UW to take on any debt.
