Lakeview Golf Course opens with high membership turnout and First Tee program announcement

The Golf and Cemetery Board Meeting held on March 10, 2025, in Mitchell, South Dakota, highlighted the successful opening of the golf course and the positive response from the community. Eric, a representative, reported that the course opened the previous day, attracting 50 golfers and a busy driving range. He noted that many individuals were coming in to purchase memberships, indicating strong interest in the season ahead.

Despite concerns about upcoming weather conditions, Eric emphasized that the early opening was a beneficial gesture for members and newcomers alike. Currently, only the front nine holes are open for cart use, while the back nine is accessible for walking. This arrangement has not deterred participation, as the range remains open and has helped foster enthusiasm for the golfing season.

In addition to the course updates, Eric mentioned that the schedule for events remains unchanged since the last meeting. He is actively organizing communications, including emails and social media posts, to keep the community informed. A significant highlight of the meeting was the introduction of the First Tee program, aimed at improving the lives of young people through golf. Eric distributed flyers detailing the program's age groups and dates, marking its inaugural year in Mitchell.

Overall, the meeting underscored a promising start to the golfing season and the community's engagement with upcoming events and programs.
