I grew up with no pets. My mom does NOT like any type of animal and because of this, I never had a dog, cat or anything growing up. The only pet I can remember for an extended period of time was a tank full of fish. My wife on the other hand LOVES dogs so when we got married, it wasn’t “if” we were going to get a dog, but more of “when” we were going to get a dog. This terrified me because I was more like my mom, afraid of animals because I did not know how to handle their unpredictability and how to interact with them.
Fast forward 6 months into marriage and we adopted the sweetest little puppy named Raelynn. She is a Mini (VERY Mini) Australian Shepard, a parvo survivor and loves her tummy scratches. My wife did an amazing job training her and over the years she has grown on me. I enjoy how dogs are always excited to see you, have individual personalities and can bring a smile to any strangers face when going on a walk around the neighborhood. Why do I bring up my dog in a space that is normally reserved for golf? Because I want to get some help with Dogs on golf courses.
I personally think dogs should be allowed on golf courses for numerous reasons. My biggest argument for dogs on a golf course is actually a question, why not have dogs on a golf course? Assuming the dog is well behaved and the owner picks up after them, what harm is the dog doing? It would be nice to have a “friend” on the golf course and also allow for me to walk the dog while doing something that I love. Golf courses are nothing more than large manicured lawns with hundreds of acres of space, a dog’s dream.
The only courses that I know that allows dogs is The Links at Lawsonia and Sweetens Cove however I would like to find more. Specifically I want to find one in Minnesota. In my preliminary research I have not found a course in Minnesota that allows dogs on the course so I pose the question to my readers. Is there a golf course that allows dogs in the State of Minnesota? If there is, please let me know.
