Birdies and bogeys: Regina golf courses open for season

The sun is shining, the mercury is rising and golfers are bringing their clubs out of storage for the year.

The City of Regina announced the Tor Hill and Joanne Goulet golf courses will open for the season Friday.

The Royal Regina Golf Club also announced it will be opening Friday as well.

The Murray driving range is also opening Friday.

The full Murray golf course and Lakeview Par 3 will open on May 5, depending on the weather.

Recent weather was a cause for concern, with the city thinking courses might not be open until May at the earliest.

Fortunately for golfers, sunshine and wind helped dry out the courses quicker than anticipated.
