Golf Season looming
Apr 22, 2026 | 1:32 PM
The opening date for Cooke Municipal Golf Course will not be anytime soon.
Like many other courses in the area, the province’s fourth oldest golf club is at the mercy of mother nature this season as a series of late season snowstorms have piled on the powder, pushing back their opening to later and later dates.
Executive professional for the course Darcy Myers told paNOW that once the snow finally leaves for good, it’ll be all hands on deck to get the course mid-season conditions.
“There hasn’t been much done with the amount of snow that we have. Just waiting for levels to go down a little bit before we can start pushing some greens off and kind of assessing the situation. A lot of the prep work, for tournaments and whatnot has been completed already. It’s just a matter of getting Mother Nature on our side here and opening up the course.”
