Management announced that the Edgewood Tavern will close its doors permanently by October 31, 2026. The restaurant, situated at the Edgewood Golf Course in north Fargo, has already begun winding down its inventory in anticipation of the final date.
Why it matters
The closure marks the end of a six-year tenure for the dining establishment, which became a staple for local golfers and residents. Its departure leaves a vacancy at the course facility following its replacement of a previous tenant in 2020.
The tavern concludes six years of service after opening in 2020. The business stopped all inventory restocking ahead of its October 31, 2026, permanent closure.
The players
Keith Stensgard
He is one of the co-founders who launched the Edgewood Tavern at the local golf course in 2020.
Dave Glessner
He is a co-founder who helped establish the Edgewood Tavern restaurant in north Fargo.
The details
Co-founded by Keith Stensgard and Dave Glessner, the Edgewood Tavern replaced the former restaurant known as Divots. The prior establishment had closed following the 2019 Red River floodwaters that forced the golf course to shut down.
Timeline
Divots closed in 2019 due to significant Red River flooding.
Edgewood Tavern first opened to the public in 2020.
Management announced the upcoming closure on October 9, 2026.
The restaurant will cease all operations on October 31, 2026.
Market Landscape
The site's history has been shaped by the 2019 Red River flood, which forced the previous tenant, Divots, to vacate the premises. This closure represents another turnover at the Edgewood Golf Course property after years of recovery efforts following that climate event.
Regular patrons and members of the Edgewood Golf Course will lose a dining option at the facility by the end of the month. Customers should expect limited menu availability as the business stops restocking its inventory before the final closing date.
The takeaway
Golfers and local residents visiting the course should plan for dining alternatives starting in November. The closure marks a notable change in the amenities available to the north Fargo community.
What happens next
The restaurant is scheduled to remain open through October 31, 2026, after which it will cease all operations.
