Thanks to an unexpected stretch of mild February weather, Sioux Falls couples are taking advantage of the rare opportunity to play golf at Kuehn Park Golf Course this Valentine's Day weekend. The city-run course is offering tee times from noon to 4:00 PM starting on Valentine's Day through Tuesday, February 17, allowing lovebirds to swap out their snow boots for golf shoes and enjoy a romantic round together.

Why it matters

Sioux Falls typically experiences harsh winter weather in February, making it highly unusual for the city's golf courses to be open and playable this time of year. This unexpected warm spell provides a unique chance for residents to get outside, be active, and enjoy quality time together on the fairways.

The details

Kuehn Park Golf Course is the only Sioux Falls course currently open to the public, with Elmwood still closed for practice and play and Prairie Green's driving range open but putting greens off-limits. Golfers will need to walk the course, as the golf carts are still hibernating. This early start to the golf season is a chance for Sioux Falls residents to get a head start on working off their winter weight.
