by PegNews wire

All City of Arlington municipal golf courses will be open as usual over the Thanksgiving holiday weekend, including on Turkey Day itself, with hours set for 6:30 a.m. 'til 2 p.m., so you can get in a round before bellying up to the table. Furthermore, you (as one of the golfing elite) can benefit from special weekend/holiday rates.
