At the event, there was an announcement of Oh's plans for the course and city officials fired golf balls into the desert. At that time, Oh said construction would start after the area had dried out sufficiently from winter rains. "We felt it's going to be a long-use project and we wanted to make sure everyone was happy," Lee said of the delay. "Steve has such high hopes." Plans called for the driving range to have 35 to 40 stalls, three target greens, fairways and bunkers.
