DeKalb’s Sugar Creek Golf Course to reopen Saturday
The DeKalb County Department of Recreation, Parks and Cultural Affairs will reopen Sugar Creek Golf Course, 2706 Bouldercrest Road on Saturday, according to a press release.
Sugar Creek Golf Course has been closed since fall of 2017. After the completion of a $1.8 million renovation, all 18 holes will reopen for public use. Regular hours are 7:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. daily. The tennis courts on site remained in use through the renovation.
A grand opening will be scheduled in spring 2020.
