Highland Park targeting August for new driving range
A new driving range could open at Highland Park Golf Course as early as August.
Flashback: The nonprofit Highland Park Golf Foundation took over management of the historic, Cleveland-owned property in 2023.
A driving range and education center were part of the vision for the facility to attract new golfers and generate additional revenue.
By the numbers: Total rounds played at Highland Park have increased dramatically year over year, with 59,000 rounds in 2024 compared to 46,000 in 2023.
The latest: Last week, City Council approved raising the rates at the 36-hole course by $2 for nine holes and $3 for 18.
Peak weekend pricing for a round of golf with a cart will be $48 this year.
Yes, but: A discount for city residents — $6 off 18 holes — makes Highland Park one of the most affordable in the region for Clevelanders.

‘Dirty Jobs' Host Mike Rowe Sues Discovery Over Denying Streaming Royalties
Warner Bros. Discovery has been sued by Dirty Jobs host Mike Rowe, who alleges that the network is refusing to pay him certain streaming royalties and is misinterpreting his deal to shortchange him on other payments. Rowe, in a lawsuit filed on Tuesday in New York federal court, claims he hasn't seen some payments when the show was licensed to multiprogram distributors, like DirectTV and YouTubeTV, in violation of his deal. More from The Hollywood Reporter Bank of America Still Sees Upside In a Warner Bros. Discovery Split Warner Bros. Discovery Credit Rating Cut to Junk Bond Status on Linear TV's Decline John Oliver Slams the "Genius" Who Keeps Changing HBO Max's Name, Admonishes Parent Company Exec for Anticipating His "Hot Take" Dirty Jobs, which was nominated for three Emmys, had an eight season-long run on Discovery, with the network rebooting the series in 2022. In deals struck in 2008 and 2011, Lab Rat, Rowe's production banner, secured ratings bonuses for linear airings of the show on Discovery-owned networks, a say in certain areas of distribution and the right to share in profits from various third party deals, according to the complaint. Tuesday's lawsuit isn't the first time the two sides clashed over payments. In 2015, Rowe conducted an audit that led to a five-year mediation. The result was a settlement and new participation agreement that, among other things, compensated him for airings of the show on streaming platforms on top of the provisions he secured in prior deals. This dispute revolves around the licensing of Dirty Jobs as video-on-demand content to third parties that carry Discovery's linear feed, which include Hulu + LiveTV, DirectTv and YouTubeTV. Rowe says that he hasn't seen payments for such deals, of which he's entitled to half of adjusted gross revenues. Contrary to the network's position that 'video-on-demand airings of Dirty Jobs on a multiprogram distributor or virtual multiprogram distributor are part of a [Discovery] linear service, the unambiguous definition' of the terms 'does not include on-demand access,' writes Randall Rasey, a lawyer for Rowe, in the complaint. The lawsuit also takes issue with the network calculating royalties for licensures of the show to Max and Discovery+ based on minutes viewed. 'Not only is this recently concocted interpretation by Discovery inconsistent with the Agreement, but Discovery has never accounted for such video-on-demand viewings,' states the complaint. In a statement, a Discovery Network spokesperson said, 'We value our long-standing relationship with Rowe and have fulfilled our contractual obligations for royalty payments. We dispute the allegations and will defend ourselves against these claims.'

Denver City Council backs $800M equestrian center project at National Western Complex
Denver's City Council approved two measures on Monday, advancing plans for a new equestrian center and hotel at the National Western Complex, the site of the popular National Western Stock Show each year. The decision came after multiple delays in voting, and it marks a significant step in a redevelopment effort that could cost more than $800 million over the coming decades. The expansion is expected to grow the campus's capacity for year-round programming with a new 4,500-seat equestrian center, 160-room hotel, income-restricted workforce housing, and a parking garage. The funds were set aside in a voter-approved measure in 2015, when about 65% of voters backed the investment. A map shows plans for future expansion of the National Western Complex in Denver, Colorado, which was approved by Denver City Council on Monday, June 2, 2025. National Western Center via City of Denver Over the course of 16 days every January, the stock show brings in hundreds of thousands of visitors. Advocates say the equestrian center is part of a larger effort to transform the National Western Complex into a year-round destination. "There is no more cherished tradition in Denver than the Stock Show," Denver Mayor Mike Johnston said in a statement. "Today, we are further committing to carrying that feeling throughout the rest of the year with events, entertainment, and a renewed dedication to putting people to work and improving the lives of neighbors through sustained -- and lasting -- trust and partnership." The National Western Stock Show complex in Denver, Colorado is seen on Jan. 8, 2017 during the National Western Stock Show, which was established in 1911. Jason Connolly/AFP via Getty Images "The new equestrian center will provide year-round opportunities to attract not only equine enthusiasts but also some of the nation's most prestigious horse shows to Denver," said Wes Allison, president and CEO of the National Western Stock Show. "It will solidify Denver's reputation as a premier destination with state-of-the-art facilities designed to serve the industry and community for generations to come." But neighbors have concerns about the scope, cost, and impact on the surrounding neighborhoods. Alfonso Espino lives near the complex and spoke to CBS News Colorado last month about his concerns about the expansion. "We didn't always not have a grocery store. We didn't always not have sidewalks. These are things that have been taken from us, and these are things that could be returned and built here again," he said at the time. "If you compare what we've been able to gather from that so far, it's like not even a drop in the bucket when you're talking about billions of dollars in investment into these facilities through public dollars." Construction on the project is expected to start in the fall and will likely take 2 to 3 years to complete. You can read more about the plans on the City of Denver's website.
