The Weldon Police Department is investigating the vandalism of five greens at Chockoyotte Country club Wednesday night.

Chief Mark Macon said it appears someone ran over the greens with a four-wheeler or go-kart.

Golfers were still allowed to play today and Macon said he was told if the grass doesn’t die the greens will be fine. If the grass dies cost to replace would be between $25,000 to $30,000.

Anyone with information is encouraged to call the police department at 252-536-3136 or crimestoppers at 252-583-4444.
