Mill Creek Golf Course to reopen north course after storm repairs

The North Course of the Mill Creek Golf Course is set to reopen Saturday October 10.

This comes after storms ripped through Mill Creek Park and the surrounding communities in July, wreaking havoc across the golf course. Since then, the course has remained closed to golfers.

After months of restoration, Mill Creek MetroParks announced on Facebook that the North Course and the Hole #55 Bar & Grille will be opening up next week.

Tee times can be booked starting Saturday October 3 through the Mill Creek MetroParks website or this link.

The South Course and Practice Range, however, will remain closed as crews continue cleanup efforts.

Golfers will also have the opportunity to practice their swings inside, at the Indoor Player Development Center.

Golf course at Mill Creek ready to open

A big sign of progress at Mill Creek MetroParks from the July 5 storm.

The North Golf Course is ready to reopen. Golfers will be able to tee off starting October 10. That’s next Saturday, which is earlier than anticipated.

The trees that were brought down or broken by the summer storm have been removed. It’s been a tremendous effort to repair the damage and give the course back to the community before the end of the golf season.

The fifth hole is one place where you’ll notice a difference on the course.

“There’s also some newly planted areas and seeded areas, and there’s still some work to be done with removing some debris. But for the most part, the layout is still the Donald Ross 1928 wonderful golf course that we’ve grown to love,” said David Wykoff, Mill Creek golf and recreation director.

The South Golf Course is not going to reopen this year. More logs need to be removed, and stump grinding will have to be finished before that 18-hole layout can be reopened.
