BATON ROUGE — Following a 2 On Your Side report about BREC closing City Park Golf Course to golfers on Sunday afternoons for a weekly event, BREC issued a statement saying that event will only take place on Nov. 29.

BREC said that it was initially planning on holding the events from Nov. 29 through February, but issued a statement Friday that the golf course would be open for full days in December and January while the organization reviews the event.

WBRZ previously reported mixed reactions to the plan, which BREC addressed in the statement.

“The first version of this idea got out while we were still weighing how often to hold the events and how to protect the course,” said Dr. Brooks Williams, BREC Superintendent and Chief Executive Officer. “It took on a life of its own. By the time we could explain what we were considering, the idea had already stirred up strong feelings."

Officials say they will inspect the course, look at how the first event affected golf play and hear from golfers, visitors and staff. That feedback will guide plans for additional dates, with the schedule tentatively set to begin in February.

BREC says the events would be limited to one Sunday a month.
