The rebuilt fifth hole and the new tees on No. 6 at Bellevue Municipal will open Saturday.
The par-4 fifth hole will have a new green and an expanded lake that will now come into play off the tee. The par-3 sixth hole is being lengthened to 165 yards from the back tees.
Bellevue Muni is among the state's busiest courses, with more than 60,000 rounds per year.
The facility is adding a chipping green that should open in May.
