Weather permitting, Stambaugh Golf course opens for play Friday

YOUNGSTOWN — The city-owned Henry Stambaugh Golf Course on the North Side will open at 8 a.m. Friday, weather permitting.

The city is paying $76,000 to David Boos to manage the course with the city keeping the course’s profits. Boos has been the course’s golf pro since 2006.

The course typically opens March 1, but because of the city’s financial problems, the opening was delayed as city officials worked out a deal with Boos.

The nine-hole course will be open from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Friday and 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. Saturday and Sunday, weather permitting. The course’s last day of the season is Nov. 30. The green fees are $8.50 for city residents, $9 for nonresidents.
