Anyone got any updates on the Bluffs

Any chance of it ever reopening? Was such a great course.

I have accepted the following truths.
1. There is a 99% chance The Bluffs will NEVER reopen as a golf course.
2. In the 1% chance it does - - it will NEVER be that beautiful layout you remember.
3. Every three months someone will start a thread asking if The Bluffs will reopen.
This is the way.

It will reopen summer of 2023.

What took it down? Is there a thread here about it? I saw the billboard and figure you have to really piss someone off enough to get a billboard.

An option to purchase was agreed upon by buyer a few weeks ago. The buyer has long history with Bluffs and is credible. Intent is to return the course to condition of its prominent days. He is raising money; it is still a long journey ahead…but there is renewed hope.

The short of it is disinterested, neglectful ownership.

How many times are they going to "raise money"? Where did all of the other "raised money" go?

There’s no clearing that has to be done…..but the ground has to be reworked since it’s been let go for so long. That’s expensive.
It’s a complete renovation project, which probably is a ton of money now.
If someone wants to restore it to the original design (with 5 acres of greens and deep faced bunkers), well good luck with that. It never really worked before, why would it work now?

Wasn't there an insurance issue with it too?

Yes it was. Is it 17 that's a par 3 with the elevated tee box? One of my favorite holes on that course.
I remember WAY back when it either first developed or just beginning development riding out there with my oldest friend and his parents to take a look at it.
They ended up being some of the first residents IIRC. Friend's dad died during COVID
, but his mom still lives out there. Matter of fact when my buddy got married, the wedding party stayed at the hotel and played a scramble the day before.
Place was great in its hey day.

Indeed it was 17. 60 feet of elevation change from tee box down to green. About a two club difference. Wind often left to right, pushing ball over pond. Great pre-cursor to the creek side uphill par 5 finishing hole of 18.
Many, many fond memories at the bluffs.

Have heard similar. Definitely there is $$$ looking at it.

Played in 4 mid-am qualifiers there, and one mid am championship also. One of the qualifiers the greens were dirt and painted green. Another qualifier they had the tees on 17 all the way back with the wind in your face. Hit a three wood almost out of bounds left. Hit one of the best wedge shots of the day to 5 feet. Missed the putt and didn't qualify.

Make sure all your kids are informed of this, so they can pass the info on to theirs. Maybe one day this fairy tale will come true.

The course opened in ‘88. It’s prominent days were 05-08. That’s a 3 year run spending money they didn’t have.
The dream everyone wants it to be is just way too much for what actually can be accomplished.
Simplify the course, enjoy the terrain and concentrate on the greens. That’s all that can be done and stay open.

I remember it still being in prime condition around 2012/2013

It had closed for the first time by then.
The owner of Carter had purchased it for a lot less than it was worth and was looking to flip it. It was in steady condition, but they weren’t putting the resources in it like when it was getting highly acclaimed.

If Mississippi can support stay and play courses in the middle of nowhere, there's no reason The Bluffs can't be the same.

It was in decent shape in 2014 as well. Played a number of hot deals up there for $18 that summer.
