Eric Vargosko is leading the effort to reopen the Cramerton, N.C., golf course and clubhouse, which closed in summer 2012 while still under the name Cramer Mountain Country Club. A group of 240 residents signed up to buy and reopen the facility, raising $2.5 million, with plans to build a new swimming pool, tennis courts, basketball courts and playground, and improve the golf course.
The restored golf course at The Cramer Mountain Club in Cramerton, N.C., will open in the spring of 2015, the Charlotte (N.C.) Business Journal reported.
Eric Vargosko is a homeowner and businessman who’s leading the effort to reopen the course and clubhouse, which closed in summer 2012 while still under the name Cramer Mountain Country Club, the Journal reported.
The group has reached its goal to sign up 240 of the community’s 270 residents to buy the facility and reopen it, the Journal reported.
“Without the neighborhood support, we could never have achieved these plans to restore property values and restore the community,” Vargosko said.
The effort raised $2.5 million to purchase and renovate the club. The proposal calls for building a new swimming pool, rebuilding the tennis courts and adding basketball courts and a playground to the property, the Journal reported.
That’s the first phase of construction, with plans calling for the new pool to open June. The second phase is centered on the golf course, which will get new greens, an irrigation system and other improvements, the Journal reported.
“We’re taking it back to the way it was when it was initially built,” Vargosko said.
Billy Casper Golf of Vienna, Va., was bought in to help in the membership campaign and to provide cost estimates for renovating the golf course. The campaign, which concluded last week, brought in “equity-transferable” memberships consisting of social, limited golf and full golf classifications, the Journal reported.
