The city of Duluth recently announced that Lester Park Golf Course would close for the 2021 and 2022 seasons, reopen for the 2023 season while Enger Park Golf Course undergoes renovations, and then close for good after 2023.
With all due respect, there is a better solution: Start a Duluth public golf co-op.
A local example of this is the Hayward Golf Club, which is run by and owned by the Hayward Civic Club, a nonprofit. It appears to be a very well-run golf course and to make enough money to pay for capital improvements.
