A report of the damage came in at 8:12 a.m., Sunday, Oct. 18. Law enforcement reviewed video surveillance of four males seen doing the damage on the greens and bunkers.
The sheriff's office reported an update Tuesday, Oct. 27, that nine juveniles had been identified and interviewed for their involvement in the vandalism. A cost estimate of damages took into consideration replacement and repairs. The full extent of the damage will not be known until spring, according to the report.
