Golf enthusiasts, get ready to tee off in Minneapolis as the Francis A. Gross Driving Range swings open its gates tomorrow, January 31, braving the unseasonably warm winter to offer players a chance to dust off their clubs and get back in the game.
As reported by the Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board, the driving range will be open daily from 10 am to 5 pm as long as Mother Nature cooperates, it's irons only for now with players hitting off mats, because let's face it, we're not quite in full spring bloom folks and the turf needs a little more time to get into the perfect shape for those juicy drives.
The cost won't set you back much, at $5 for a bucket of 30 balls—a small price to pay for the satisfaction of that perfect drive. Located conveniently at 2201 St. Anthony Blvd., Minneapolis, MN 55418, the Francis A. Gross Driving Range and Learning Center is looking to hook, draw, and slice in local golfers ready to get an early start on the season.
For those itching to grip it and rip it, the details are all lined up on the Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board's website, and for any questions that might be teeing off in your mind, the range can be directly contacted via email at [email protected] or by dialing 612-230-6524, so if you've been daydreaming about green fairways and gentle birdie putts, it might be time to wake up and smell the turf because golf season is getting a head start right in the heart of winter.
