Work is expected to soon begin on improvements to a popular golf course in Albuquerque located on the west side of the city.
Opened in 1980, the city-owned Ladera Golf Course at 3401 Ladera Drive NW is a 27-hole course with a driving range, practice putting greens, and four lakes.
City officials have long talked about making upgrades to the site, which will include the expansion of its much-used roughly 25-year-old banquet hall and food and beverage area.
In the last several years Ladera has also seen the expansion of its practice green, as well as the building of awnings above its patio space.
The planned Ladera Golf Course improvement comprises one of just over a dozen Westside park upgrade projects, either undertaken by the City in the last two years or in the planning process for next year.
Additional projects will see the construction of a spray pad at the Alamosa Park, located at 1100 Bataan Drive; and new restroom facilities for the West Mesa Little League in the Redlands Park at 5121 Sequoia Road NW.
