Chaska Town Course
as Audubon Cooperative Sanctuaries,
including Chaska Town Course, with its
285 acres of rolling hills, valleys and wetlands,
and Baker National, which was the
first public golf course in Minnesota to
gain that designation.
" Now there are a lot of [Audubon]
courses, " May says. " It's easier to do now.
There's more opportunity with better organics,
fertilizer and weed control options. "
Public courses tend to be in the middle
of environmental battles, such as the current
effort to curb the spread of emerald
ash borers as courses try to maintain
trees for shade and strategy.
" We're dealing with a lot of that right
now, " Berry says. " We have a lot of ash
trees out here, and we've done everything
we can to keep as many alive as we can.
We treat over 300 a year with an injection.
We're doing everything we can to
maintain the level of the original course
design where the trees are important. We
have a fair [number] of eagles out here.
We've lined all the ponds and we've done
a lot of fescue grass, too, so we have a lot
of nature areas. "
The oldest of them all, Theodore Wirth
Golf Course, operates within a regional
public park, adjacent to the Eloise Butler
Wildlife Garden and Bird Sanctuary.
" If you look at an aerial map of
Minneapolis, Golden Valley
and the
neighboring suburbs, it's about the biggest
area around of solid green space, " says
Larry Umphrey, director of golf for the
Minneapolis Park Board. " It just stretches
for hundreds and hundreds of acres. It's
pretty impressive when you think about
everything that's around that area. "
Last December, Wirth changed the name
of its clubhouse-previously known as The
Chalet-to honor Eddie Manderville, one
of the city's most beloved public golfers,
who died at age 88 in 2020.
Martha Arradondo, who spearheaded
the name-change effort, says Manderville
helped her and Shirley Hughes (Solomon's
daughter) organize the Black Women On
Course (BWOC) golf league. That group
plays all of its four weekly rounds on public
courses in the west metro.
" Public courses provide access, "
Arradondo says. " There's people who
can't afford to join a private club to play
at a decent golf course, but Minnesota has
enough public courses per capita-nice
courses-that people have choices. "
And, as Disch points out, municipal
courses aren't just about the golf. In addition
to its 27 holes and driving range, Brookview
has lawn bowling, and winter brings curling
rinks, disc golf and cross-country skiing.
" We shift gears from the golf season to
Brookview Golf Course

winter recreation, " Disch says. " We invest
time and labor into that stuff. If there's
any revenue stream coming in, that's not
the primary focus. It's bringing people
to the property. It's bringing people to
Brookview year-round. "
