Riverview Golf Course Makes Way for New Cubs Complex
Wednesday, March 14th, 2012
Construction of the new Chicago Cubs training complex will soon get underway in Mesa, Arizona. The $99 million dollar facility will bring an end to the beloved Riverview Golf Course. Many Mesa golfers will be sad to see the end of Riverview, which will close in April. Construction of the Cubs complex will begin in June. Crews will temporarily remove about 300 trees from the course; they will be re-planted at the new facility and stand as reminders of the old Riverview course.
The Riverview Golf Course, which opened in 1987, is the area’s only 9-hole golf course. It’s estimated that the course has hosted about 1.6 million rounds over the past quarter century. The number of rounds played has dropped in recent years due to the growing number of courses in the Mesa Valley.
