The historic parallels are kind of eerie. Back in the 1930s, when golf's first boom went bust, Twin Cities courses Westwood Hills, Northwood Country Club, the original Bunker Hills, Hilltop and Matoska all struggled and eventually failed. Yet during the same era, Midland Hills, Minneapolis Golf Club, Golden Valley, Oak Ridge and Minnesota Valley managed to hang on by their fingertips.
With some luck, Windsong could become one of those Minnesota clubs that got back up again after tough times.
