meadowbrook golf course

Minneapolis, Minnesota

In June of 2014, torrential rains flooded Meadowbrook Golf Courses leaving over 55 acres of dead turf and trees, damaged cart paths and bunkers and submerged irrigation system. In response, the Minneapolis Park & Recreation Board retained Kevin Norby to preform a flood damage assessment and concept drawings for the restoration of the golf courses.

The damage at Meadowbrook Golf Course was extensive so, as a result, the course remained closed for nearly 4 years. In July of 2015, after numerous public meetings and the exploration of multiple options for restoration, Norby Golf finalized plans for the renovation of Meadowbrook Golf Course. The project was jointly funded by the Minneapolis Park Board, and the Federal Emergency Management Administration (FEMA). Construction began at Meadowbrook in August of 2015 and the course reopened for play in August of 2017.
