(WJAR) — An NBC 10 viewer reached out to Ask Alison about the Goddard Park Golf Course.
Jim emailed: “Goddard Park golf course used to be a great, inexpensive place for fixed income seniors to recreate and get some exercise,” he wrote. “Please address the disgusting, negligent, lack of management and resources. We pay good tax dollars and have a right to expect better.”
Jim sent a picture as a reference.
And then NBC 10 sent our own photographer and found a similar scene.
RIDEM told Alison Bologna that the course has been without a superintendent for a few months but recently they got approval to hire someone.
The position is now posted, and they hope to have one “in place soon.”
In the meantime, staff at Goddard is:
Increasing the watering schedule.Treating invasive weeds.And restoring the ground by aerating and overseeding the greens.
The course was scheduled to close this week- starting on the Monday the 15th to accommodate these plans.
And a statewide construction crew is helping too.
Do you have a story you want Alison to investigate?
