Beer could be sold at Youngstown's Stambaugh golf course

YOUNGSTOWN — If the city gets approval from the Ohio Division of Liquor Control, beer will be sold at the publicly-owned Henry Stambaugh Golf Course.

The nine-hole course on the city’s North Side is losing business because “leagues say, ‘We’re not coming if you don’t sell beer,’” said Robert Burke, the city’s park and recreation director.

A state liquor control agent will tour the course in two to three weeks and about seven or eight weeks later, the state will likely give the city a license to sell beer, Burke said.

The beer would be sold in the snack-food area inside course’s clubhouse in metal cans and/or plastic bottles and not in glass bottles, Burke said.

Meanwhile, the city and the school district are finalizing agreements that would have them swap two properties each.
