Birnamwood Opened – COVID-19 Style
Birnamwood’s 2020 season officially began on April 20. Opening was highly anticipated. Birnamwood made some adjustments for the health and well-being of golfers and staff. Those changes made it possible to open quickly after the go-ahead from the State. Welcome to Birnamwood’s 2020 Season – COVID-19 style.
Closed Areas
In response to COVID-19, the following areas are closed for the safety of golfers and staff:
- Clubhouse
- Concession Stand
- Ball Washers
- Bunker Rakes
- Club Cleaning Station
Signage
Signs were placed around the course to remind people to maintain social distancing at all times. You can be physically closer if you live in the same house as your golfing partner.
That is if you really want to…
 Course Tips
Motorized golf carts are now available to rent for your next round! Carts are rented on a first-come, first-served basis. However, golfers with health concerns can call 952-641-1357 in advance and reserve a cart for their tee time.

Birnamwood Beauty
Meticulous planting and maintaining 3,300 annual flowers each year is a job usually taken on by Birnamwood’s wonderful gardener, Jana. Plants are ordered in the winter in preparation the next season.
Then there was COVID-19. That left thousands of flowers in the hands of Mike and Dan who are self-described as “lacking imagination.” They decided to choose the “easiest” locations possible.
That mindset created new gardens at the No. 1, No. 4 and No. 6 tee boxes. The gardens are still magnificent, just a little different. Fear not. Next year the gardens should be back to normal.
