There’s nothing quite like having fun outdoors in the winter in Minnesota! At Burl Oaks Golf Club, your favorite local golf and social group, we love to spend time on the golf course during the winter as much as we do in the summer. But we also love other winter activities like pond ice skating!

 

Did you know that we have a pond available for ice skating? During the winter months, we offer ice skating every weekend as long as the weather permits! Come join us for hot cocoa, hot cider, and sweet treats like chocolate chip cookies!

Ice Skating With Your Favorite Social Group

Have you ever seen those old black-and-white photos of ice skaters from the early 20th century? Ice skating is one of those timeless quintessential winter activities that evoke a sense of nostalgia and good old-fashioned fun.

 

These are just a few reasons pond skating is one of our favorite winter social club activities:

 

●        It’s fun for all ages.

●        It’s a rare outdoor winter activity.

●        It’s easy to maintain a safe distance.

Tips for Ice Skating

Follow these tips to make the most of your time on the pond!

 

1.      Before you head out onto our pond, be sure everyone is dressed warmly and in nice, thick clothing. Think about it: Thick clothing act as a kind of padding to protect you if you fall! A jacket that comes down lower than most is a gift if you fall on your backside.

2.      Consider wearing a balaclava and extra warm gloves.

3.      Put on your skates close to the ice rather than walking around on them to prevent falls. Walking in your skates off of the ice can actually be risky!

4.      Be sure your skates fit well but comfortably. If they’re too tight, you can end up having trouble skating.

5.      Take breaks if you need them. Skating is one of those activities that can be a blast when you’re doing them but can wear you out and you don’t even realize it. You don’t want to be sore the next day!

6.      Bring a friend. The only thing that’s more fun than skating is skating with your favorite people!
