Veterans seek to preserve historic Stryker Golf Course at Fort Bragg
Summary

Military families and veterans are advocating for the preservation of the 80-year-old Stryker Golf Course at Fort Bragg, set to close on September 30 due to financial losses and infrastructure concerns. Jennifer Hodges of Fort Bragg Recreation cited a shift in resources to consolidate operations at Ryder Golf Course. The golf course, named after Medal of Honor recipient Pfc. Stuart Stryker, has attracted attention as local families argue it remains a valuable community asset. A petition has gained traction, reflecting fears of losing recreational opportunities at the base. An environmental assessment will be conducted to explore future uses for the land following the closure.
