NORWALK, Iowa — Central Iowa's early spring finds us with many of our golf courses now open.
Local 5 checked in at The Legacy Golf Club in Norwalk, where they're expecting a big weekend of golf. With the mild winter, they were actually open for a little in January. And now the early spring weather has golfers driving in from all over.
"We have a bunch of golfers here today from Minnesota and from northern Iowa," said club general manager Trevis Manning. "We even have one guy who drove down a long way from northern Minnesota, he says they still have two feet of snow there. We get a lot of visitors this time of year and it's a big chunk of our business "
He says extra business this time of year or late in the fall can really make a financial difference for golf courses.
