The City of Everett will construct stormwater detention ponds on Legion Memorial Golf Course to help reduce basement and surface flooding in Northwest Everett and overflows into the Snohomish River during high volume rainstorms. The pond network will convey pretreated area stormwater runoff into detention ponds on the golf course rather than overflowing the sewer system.  

The stormwater project is also an opportunity to enhance the golf course. Work is anticipated to start March 5 and end this fall. More information about the stormwater detention project can be found on the project webpage.  

Legion Memorial Open without Interruption

The golf course will remain open with 18 holes and returning nines. The temporary course has been WSGA rated for handicap posting during construction. 

Golf Course Architect Involved from the Start

Golf course architect Todd Schoeder of iCon Golf Studio has been part of the design team since the project’s beginning. Todd is committed to maintaining the character of the Chandler Egan course design and the quality of the golfer experience and to making sure any changes only improve the golfing experience.Todd designed the placement of the temporary holes and accommodating the holes taken out of play during construction. When the new holes are completed, the course will feature two new par-3 holes and a new par-4 hole. Two existing ponds will be expanded and a new pond added, along with three new sets of tees and three new greens. When the project is complete, nines will be reversed; the current back nine will become the front nine, and the front nine (with three redesigned holes) will become the back nine. The new back nine will have a significant amount of water in play on five out of the last six holes. The course will play to a par 71, with both nines ending with par-5 holes.
