Englewood staff outline 'Better Broken Tee' plan to address drainage, bunkers and clubhouse repairs

Englewood City golf staff on Monday presented the "Better Broken Tee" action plan for Broken Tee Golf Course, detailing a multi-year program of course and clubhouse repairs that staff estimate could total millions of dollars and will proceed only as enterprise-fund revenue and contractor availability allow.

Jeremiah Stumpf, golf course superintendent, said the plan is aimed at keeping the course "fun and friendly and playable for every skill level" while maintaining affordability. "Our goal our mission here at Broken Tee is promoting a quality golf experience at an affordable price," Stumpf said.

The plan groups work into course and clubhouse projects. Shannon Buccio, golf manager, listed exterior clubhouse work such as siding, windows, gutters and roof repairs and said restrooms will need updates for ADA compliance. Buccio said those clubhouse projects are tentatively expected to begin in late 2025 or early 2026, depending on funding.

Rick Phelps, the golf course architect on the plan, said the action plan is a roadmap that could run from an aggressive five-year program to a 10–15-year schedule depending on funds. "We've been working on this action plan for a little over a year now," Phelps said, describing the document as life‑cycle planning for irrigation, drainage, cart paths and bunkers.
