The University of Minnesota's Les Bolstad Golf Course in Falcon Heights is up for sale, and its fans are rallying to save the urban green space. The university hopes the funds from the sale will align with its mission in an "economically fraught time." The course's clubhouse is unused this spring and there are no tee times available. Alumni, golfers, and cross country runners are concerned about what losing it will mean for the community. The sale has led to protests and a petition opposing the sale of the course has nearly 3,000 signatures. Some golfers have questioned why the course needs to be sold since it appears to be self-sufficient financially. The money from its sale will be used for projects aligned with the university's higher education mission.
