Went to lunch with a former member who was telling me they're trying to launch a new plan to reopen. This time it's backed by the current tennis minded owners, who are interested in bringing back golf as a private club.

My dad used to be a member in the 90's and I grew up running around over there. I'd love to see it back.

Anybody else heard any rumors?

They want you to give money, which doesn't include a membership, and also tell you to not expect any returns on investment. So this whole thing sounds like

1. This is a group of old members trying to bring back the good ole days and do it using someone else's money

Or

2. A giant scheme to get the die hard folks to fork over cash all while having no intent to actually start the course back up.

Yes. And its not going to happen...period. It is both financially unfeasible and the startup is vastly underestimated.
