St. Paul Golf Gets Evening Lights

St. Paul’s city-owned golf courses are poised for a major overhaul as officials ditch outdated zoning rules to boost revenue and extend operating hours. Long-standing bans on lights and mini-golf are being reconsidered, with the driving range at Highland National set to open until 9 PM—thanks to newly installed lights that can now be used for golf, not just winter activities. Parks Director Andy Rodriguez says demand for longer hours is clear, and this move could bring in serious cash while easing property tax pressure. Mini-golf may also be on the horizon. The planning commission reviews changes this week, with City Council voting expected later this summer—marking a smart, modern shift to make public golf more profitable and flexible.
