Fitzsimons Golf Course open two extra days

Initially, the links were supposed to close after Friday, but now they'll remain open through Sunday.

If you're sad Fitzsimons Golf Course is closing, you're not alone. Plenty of people are trying to get one last round of golf in before the course's last day.

And if you're one of those people, we have good news! You actually have two extra days now to try to play.

Initially, the links were supposed to close after Friday, but now they'll remain open through Sunday.

Fitzsimons Golf Course is closing after a hundred years of business. It opened in 1918 and was once reserved for the military at Fitzsimons Medical Center. In 1998, the City of Aurora began maintaining the course and opened it to the public.

The land is owned by Fitzsimons Redevelopment Authority. The FRA plans to add to the Anschutz Medical Campus with a Bioscience Innovation Building, a 110,000-square foot, three story building. The FRA is currently negotiating with bioscience startup companies for 70-percent of the building. The campus currently supports 22,000 jobs but that could grow to 40,000 over the next 15 years.
