The owners of the Sawmill and Loggers Trail golf courses in Stillwater, MN announced today that the 30 year lease on the Sawmill Golf Course will not be renewed. They are stating that this means they can focus more on developing the Loggers Trail course.
It looks like Sawmill will be closing on October 31st. I assume this is a permanent closure?
Here is the full announcement:
Sawmill Golf Club, Inc. to Focus on Developing Loggers Trail Golf Club
Sawmill Golf Club, Inc. announced today that the
thirty year lease on the 18-hole Sawmill Golf Course property will not
be renewed. This will allow the staff and management team to focus 100%
of their time on Loggers Trail Golf Course. Loggers Trail Golf Course is
located in the City of Grant just off of Manning Avenue at 11950 80th
st.
“Thirty years ago a small group of golfers signed a lease on a
nine hole cow pasture and turned it into an eighteen hole golf
destination that focused on providing a great golf experience at a great
price.” stated Dan Pohl, President of Sawmill Golf Club, Inc. “We are
very proud of what we accomplished and we want to thank all the people
who played and contributed to the great golf experience at Sawmill.”
Now it is time to focus on taking Loggers Trail to the next
level,” continued Pohl. “Plans are under way to build a new club house
to support a pro shop and golf grill but also to provide space for
wedding receptions and special community events. We hope to be breaking
ground on the new facility next year.”
The owner of the land that is where the Sawmill course is will be taking over the course and has a new management company involved. It will be renamed but supposedly will still be a golf course.
