Fire damages Cuba City golf clubhouse
A golf course in Grant County is coping with a big loss after a fire over the weekend. Cole Acres Golf and Supper Club posted on Facebook Sunday, sharing photos of its building in flames Saturday night. Images from the next day show the building was severely damaged.
The post said six surrounding fire departments responded to the fire.
According to Benton Fire Chief Nicholas Neis, No injuries were reported at Cole Acres Golf and Supper Club, 7617 Lafayette County Road J, but the building was a total loss.
“The damage was too substantial that we can’t determine where it started or what caused it,” he said.
Benton fire crews were paged to a structure fire at about 1 a.m. today, and the neighbouring Cuba City, Dickeyville, Hazel Green, Platteville and Shullsburg fire departments assisted.
Firefighters were on scene until about 6 a.m., Neis said.
He said fire damage was limited to the upper level of the split-story building, while the lower level incurred heat and smoke damage. A pump that feeds a swimming pool located on the lower level also was damaged, Neis said.
The property is owned by Larry McWilliams, according to county records. A telephone at the club rang unanswered this afternoon.
The golf course will reopen Monday for members only, according to an online announcement from the business.
