It’s a sure sign spring is here: city-run golf courses and driving ranges in Edmonton start opening.
Victoria Driving Range is scheduled to open on Thursday, March 28. Its hours will be 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.
The city has not said exactly when Riverside, Rundle and Victoria golf courses will open as they’re waiting for the snow to melt.
Last year, they opened for the season on April 21, April 18 and April 20, respectively.
