Well as most of you have already noticed or have seen on the news we had an interesting Fathers Day weekend here at Canyon Farms.
At roughly 9am on Friday morning an isolated sink hole appeared east of Hole 13 on the Canyon Farms Golf Course in Lenexa, Kansas. Portions of the golf course are constructed over a non-operating limestone mine. The area where the sink hole appeared had subsurface conditions inferior to the rest of the mine. A safe perimeter has been secured around the site. The majority of the mine is considered stable according to various geotechnical studies. Excessive groundwater from the wet spring is believed to have contributed to stress on the mine roof at that location. The mine is being evaluated and a course of action to stabilize this portion of the mine will be determined shortly.
We are still open for play, currently with #13 played as a par 3 from the lower section until a full evaluation and restoration of the sink hole, we ask all golfers and guests to please respect the signs and closed off area.
