  • Golf course has new offerings

    Updated Apr 11, 2015

    The Odessa Golf Course has undergone quite a transformation since the McCullar family purchased it. The family brought in Dillon Jahns as the new groundskeeper/manager, and he has worked extremely hard, by all accounts, to make the course more attractive and, in some cases, more challenging. In the clubhouse as well, the small kitchen has added some new equipment and, under the direction of Danielle Hardung and Suzie Deife, is now offering an expanded menu of panini and deli sandwiches, salads and flatbread pizza.
