'New' course in full swing
May 12, 2017
The opening of the 2017 season at the Red Wing Golf Course has been accompanied with more excitement than most years.
After members voted to sell the course due to financial strains in the fall of 2016, Bill Holst acquired the 102-year-old course. Holst also owns Gopher Hills in rural Cannon Falls/Miesville and Clifton Highlands in Prescott
During the offseason, Holst and newly appointed Red Wing Golf Course general manager Daniel Hull began work on the historic course tucked into the heart of Red Wing's residential hills.
"We had a vision to make the course accessible to everyone — golfers and non-golfers," Daniel Hull said.
The Red Wing course joined Gopher Hills and Clifton Highlands in a new branding of Holst's properties as River Valley Golf Trail.
"By rebranding, we are better able to promote and showcase these beautiful courses in the region," Hull said.
