ALLIANCE, Neb. – Due to ongoing unseasonably warm and dry conditions, SkyView Golf Course temporarily closed to the public beginning Jan. 3, 2026, to allow for essential irrigation and turf recovery.
Prolonged warm and dry conditions have placed significant stress on the course’s turf and landscape. In order to preserve the long-term health and playability of the course, irrigation is necessary and cannot be effectively completed while the course remains open.
Staff is beginning the process of re-energizing irrigation systems and plans to water every day while weather conditions allow. The irrigation will take place during the day to ensure absorption into the soil. This temporary closure is a proactive step to protect the course from irreversible damage caused by the drought and unseasonably warm conditions.
Staff is not sure what actions will be necessary in the future, so updates will be provided as plans are made.
We appreciate the public’s understanding and cooperation as we work to responsibly maintain the quality of the Golf Course during these challenging environmental conditions.
