Fore! Get ready to swing into the season, as the Columbia Golf Course has officially opened its doors to eager golfers looking to tee off in Minneapolis. Having been cooped up indoors for months, locals can now enjoy a round of golf with the convenience of riding carts, lugging around those clubs, and maybe your sense of optimism for a round under par.

Starting from March 13, the Columbia Golf Course is not only welcoming golfers back to its green but is also offering riding cart rentals for those looking to zip from hole to hole. According to a bulletin from the Minneapolis Parks and Recreation Board, golfers can rent carts for a reasonable $14 for nine holes, or $23 for 18 holes. And if you're looking to play during twilight hours, carts will set you back just $18, a small price for the serenity of an evening game.

But wait, there's more than just a leisurely game waiting for golf enthusiasts. The Columbia Learning Center is also now open, offering a chance for golfers of all skill levels to brush up on their drives and putts. Whether you're a seasoned pro or someone who considers a sand trap more of a beach vacation, the Learning Center provides a perfect opportunity for improvement.

For those looking to book a tee time, the process is just a click away. The Minneapolis Parks and Recreation Board's website has all the details, including how to contact the club at [email protected] or by calling 612-230-6520. Situated at 3300 Central Ave. NE in Minneapolis, the availability of tee times is as open as the course itself, so there are ample opportunities for those looking to get an early start on their golf season.
