Fore! Time to put the clubs away because the Columbia Golf Course and Learning Center are officially closed due to an upcoming cold snap. According to a bulletin released on February 8, the facilities shut their doors at 5 pm, giving golfers the cold shoulder as the winter weather takes a swing through Minneapolis.
Officials are looking to reopen both the golf course and learning center at a later date that has yet to be determined, hoping to not split the community's spirits too much. For those itching to hit the links, the temperature drop was a nasty hazard that just couldn't be avoided. The closure was announced via government delivery service, keeping local duffers in the loop.
The Minneapolis Parks and Recreation Board's bulletin stated, “With colder weather in the forecast, both the Columbia Golf Course and Learning Center will close at 5 pm today, Thursday, February 8, 2024.” Located at 3300 Central Ave. NE, the Columbia Golf Club has been a staple for area golf enthusiasts looking for a lush fairway to test their skills or a friendly tee box to learn the game.
For further details or updates on reopening, folks are invited to reach out directly to the Columbia Golf Club at [email protected] or by phone at 612-230-6520. One can only hope the winter freeze will quickly thaw, allowing us to properly play again without the need to bundle up like a snowman. In the meantime, avid golfers and newcomers alike will have to put their patience to the test.
