Fort Bragg’s historic Stryker Golf Course set to close after nearly 80 years

FILE - GOLF

After nearly 80 years of serving soldiers, veterans, and their families, the historic Stryker Golf Course at Fort Bragg is set to close.

The popular course, which opened shortly after World War II, is expected to close by Sept. 30.

The driving range will remain open, but the news has already prompted a petition against the closure. The cost to maintain the course and declining attendance are said to be factors in the closure.

Officials have hired a firm to evaluate alternative uses for the Stryker property.

Meanwhile, Ryder Golf Course, the post’s other golf course, will remain open.
