Two public golf courses are now open in Springfield.
The city announced that Franconia and Veterans Memorial Courses have opened for the 2026 season.
Both courses have recently undergone one-million-dollars in renovations.
Mayor Sarno states, “The sun is shining, the birds are singing, and tomorrow the clubs will be swinging at our beautiful, award-winning, municipal golf courses. As clear fan favorites, Veterans and Franconia are being nationally recognized and are quickly becoming a hidden jewel in the region, while also offering some of the most affordable rates in the area. The investments and renovations made at both Franconia and Veterans have enhanced the quality of play for players of all ages and levels. On top of that, we invested in transforming the outdated clubhouses at both courses – now the inside of both the Veterans and Franconia Clubhouse’s, which had not seen any major updates since they were built in the 1960s, matches the quality of the courses. Thank you to PBRM Director Tom Ashe and team for their continued efforts in maintaining these beautiful and affordable courses.”
The city's golf season typically lasts nine months, starting in early spring and ending in late fall.
