According to the Finance & Commerce website the Hastings Country Club has been sold to new investors who plan to make it a semi-private club. The course has switched between fully and semi private in the past but continued financial difficulties forced the sale.

This club played host to the 2012 MGA state am championship so it is a quality course. The club first opened in 1947 so it likely is a pretty cool old school design. Located within the Hastings city limits, it is just southwest of the intersection of Highways 61 and 55.
This course is the latest in a string of course closures/ownership changes, including Majestic Oaks and Minnetonka Country Club. 15 courses have closed since 2005 in Minnesota. The new owners have said that if the new business model doesn't work, converting the land to a housing development is likely.
I will have to get down there to check it out next spring!
