DonM Mattyv Here is a shopping list. Although it looks like a lot of them have survived. The list does not have San Miguel, on the west side of I-10 down by Eloy. They lost their water rights, AFAIK. I ran across this list while looking for the name of one that I knew was closed and had been for sale. (Awatukee Lakes) http://www.phoenixgolfmecca.com/Closed-/-Defunct-Courses-Clubs/ I knew Arizona City had closed, but now find it has reopened. So there is a course to add to your play list. Don't go with high expections, it is super basic. https://www.pinalcentral.com/arizona_city_independent/news/arizona-city-golf-club-finding-success-after-reopening/article_e97cd943-242f-586f-8284-3097f3651d08.html
Mattyv DonM Ahwatukee Lakes is also back open. The homeowners won their case against the owner and he had to get the course back into shape. Club West would be a nice course to get back open. There must be something wrong with the soil or water around South Mountain and Ahwatukee. All of those courses had some really bad fungus or something that ruined the grass on the greens.
DonM Mattyv That was a weird case. You would think a guy could walk away from running an unprofitable golf course but it's like he's chained to it. I did not know the outcome. I hope the course at least makes money now.
Sarnella sdandrea1 Well it looks like we are getting there. Raggman - $15 sdandrea1 - $12 me - $13 TOTAL = $40
mulegolf sdandrea1 So, are we buying a golf course or not? My $12 is ready to go. Lets look for a course somewhere in the middle of the country so it's easier for all of us to get there, maybe in the south central area so we could play almost all year round. Any courses for sale in southern Arkansas or Mississippi? Maybe eastern Oklahoma or western Tennessee? By the way, I'll kick in $50.
Typhoon Sarnella sdandrea1 Well it looks like we are getting there. Raggman - $15 sdandrea1 - $12 me - $13 TOTAL = $40 Iβll throw in $20β¦ want to be a major shareholder in this endeavor.
Bravopilot Sarnella Okay, I'm in and since still working, I'll match the total for $60. I want to drive the mower a few times without supervision. Will ask for forgiveness post-mowingπ.
Typhoon 2-3 more guys and we can approach the committee at Augusta National! AZgreg seems to be a Twitter addict, he should tweet that the forum is putting together a bid!ππ Butβ¦ all weβll get are more Asian Spammers
mulegolf Eguller Between you and Rex, I think we have enough tools. Did you just call them tools? π
mulegolf Typhoon Walter as Greenskeeper. I'll give Walter some advise if/when he needs it. I was a greenskeeper for a few years at our local course. I also worked on the course mowing the rough when I had time.
fatshot Sarnella " I could chip in $10 bucks to the cause.....oh what the hell....$$ TWENTY...!!!!π" Don't forget me....! I got in on the ground floor....!!!
mulegolf I was just thinking.... Just a few more bucks and we can transfer this to the What did you buy today section.
Par4QC Eguller Now there's a thought! "Pitiful, but likeable, golf forum group (non-profit from all appearances) needs help funding unwanted golf course."
