Jade Greens had been operating without water rights permission. When this became known, the course owner applied for permission.
Jade Greens Golf Course was denied water rights permission needed to irrigate the course. The course is located in the Green River watershed, specifically in an area where groundwater withdrawals can affect water flowing into the Covington Creek, which in turn could affect water going into the Big Soos Creek and eventually into the Green River.
All tributaries of the Green River, including Covington and Big Soos Creeks, are closed to new water right permits.
Without the ability to irrigate, the course was forced to close.
