Those wanting to play on the Ironwood Golf Course better hurry up. The owners intend to turn the property into a mixed multi-family and townhome residential development.
The owners have applied for annexation of the property into the Yuma city limits with the intention of obtaining city utilities, police and fire services.
The 1,720-yard, nine-hole course located at 2945 W. 8th St. celebrated its 30th anniversary in 2019. Nikolaus A. Curtis, his wife Loella and their four sons Shannon, Scott, Dean and Kelly, built the course in 1989. Nikolaus died in 2000, and Loella in 2019. Kelly has continued to operate the golf course.
Asked by BIZ, a publication of the Yuma Sun, about his focus for 2022, Kelly said late last year that he would be “adapting to what has happened over the last two years while finding the right direction for the future.”
