Armco Park Golf Course to Reopen for Limited Play Following Cart Barn Fire

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE - April 14, 2026

LEBANON, OH — The Warren County Park District announced that Armco Park Golf Course will reopen for limited operations Wednesday, April 15, following a fire earlier today that damaged the golf cart barn.

Beginning April 15, the course will be open for walking play and for golfers who bring their own carts. Park District staff have worked quickly to assess the facility and restore safe access to the course and pro shop.

“Our priority has been getting the course back open for our community as quickly and safely as possible,” said Matt Latham, Executive Director of the Warren County Park District. “We’re pleased to be able to resume play right away, even in a limited capacity, while we continue working toward full operations.”

The fire was contained to the cart barn portion of the facility, a wood-framed structure located behind the pro shop. The cart barn and the golf carts stored inside are considered a total loss. The pro shop, located in the front steel-framed building, sustained little to no damage. No injuries were reported.

The Park District is actively working to procure replacement golf carts and establish temporary storage so that full golf operations, including cart use, can resume as soon as possible.

“We appreciate the patience and support of our golfers as we work through this recovery,” Latham added. “We look forward to welcoming players back to the course on April 15.”

Additional updates will be shared as more information becomes available.
