⛳️ Course update: The Wilmington Municipal Golf Course has completed its aerification project ahead of schedule and plans to reopen tomorrow, June 26 at 10 a.m.

Thank you for your patience while crews completed this important maintenance work. Aerification helps support healthy turf and maintain great playing conditions throughout the year.

We look forward to welcoming golfers back to the course tomorrow!

⛳ Golf Course Closure Notices ⛳

Inland Greens will be closed on June 11 and June 18 from 4:45–5:45 p.m. for league play. In addition, Inland Greens will be closed June 22–25 for aerification as part of routine maintenance. The course will reopen on June 26 at 8 a.m.

The Wilmington Municipal Golf Course will also be closed June 22–26 for aerification and will reopen for normal operations on June 27.

During this maintenance period, staff will perform aerification, verticutting/dethatching, and topdressing with sand. These important practices help relieve soil compaction, remove excess organic matter, and improve the movement of water, air, and nutrients to the turf's root system. This work is essential to maintaining healthy greens and providing quality playing conditions throughout the year.

We appreciate your understanding and cooperation as we complete these improvements.
