Shawnee golf course to be reopened with restaurant, brewpub

Have you heard?

Thank you Milford City Council for voting to approve the rezoning of 3.9 acres of the former Rookery North property so that it can become a new restaurant and brewpub by Fins Hospitality Group.

The Johnsons, the new owners of the property, say they plan to open the first nine holes, driving range, and pro shop by Sep. 1 of this year to coincide with the opening of the brewpub.

“Rookery North owners Tim and Matt Johnson support the rezoning, which will give Hamer the option to purchase the land in the case that the Rookery North is ever to close.

The Johnsons believe the collaboration between the Rookery North and a restaurant is critical to the longevity of the course.

“The future success of this property depends on the establishment of a new restaurant, which will be the anchor and create an attraction for the golf course,” says Matt.

Matt Johnson says he plans to open the first nine holes, driving range, and pro shop by Sep. 1 of this year to coincide with the opening of the brewpub.”
