$34 million over par
A study commissioned by the City of Minneapolis this year showed that the six golf courses owned by the city are in need of over $14 million in "critical" improvements. If the city wanted to hit all the recommended improvements — everything from green and tee-box replacements to major renovations at Gross National, Meadowbrook and Theodore Wirth — the estimated bill hits $34 million. A course-by-course look:
Course Critical Total
Columbia $2,010,000 $4,295,000
Fort Snelling $575,000 $2,095,000
Gross National $1,930,000 $4,360,000
Hiawatha $2,335,000 $6,180,000
Meadowbrook $3,035,000 $8,915,000
Theodore Wirth $4,225,000 $8,650,000
Totals $14,110,00 $34,495,000
