Commissioners discuss revitalizing community events at Wood Creek Golf Course

The Roseville Parks & Recreation Commission meeting on May 5, 2025, highlighted a renewed focus on community engagement at local golf courses, particularly Wood Creek Golf Course. During the session, commissioners discussed the potential revival of popular community events that had faded over the years, such as movie nights and seasonal celebrations.

Commissioner Kevin raised concerns about the decline of these events, which once drew families and residents to the golf course. He noted the success of the Thursday night music events and suggested that similar community-oriented activities could enhance the golf course's role as a neighborhood hub.

Rob, a representative from the golf course management, acknowledged the loss of momentum for these events, attributing some of the decline to the impacts of COVID-19. He emphasized that while the golf course is primarily known for golfing, it also serves as a community center with dining options and social activities. Rob expressed a desire to bring back movie nights, albeit in a limited capacity due to staffing challenges. He mentioned that the golf course operators are eager to explore creative programming that would not interfere with golfing activities.

The discussion underscored the commission's commitment to revitalizing community engagement through diverse programming at local facilities. As the golf course management works to enhance its offerings, residents can look forward to a potential return of beloved events that foster community spirit and connection.
