BACKGROUND Golf Course was built in the late 1960 s as a 18 hole golf course. In the late 1980 s, 9 additional holes were added creating what is known as the North 9. Since that time, the property has been sold numerous times but remained in operation as a 27 hole golf course until 2013 when the North 9 portion was closed. The remaining 18 holes and club house remained in operation until December 2016 when the former owner decided to close entirely. As a result, the subject properties have remained unused and vacant for approximately 10 months.
