As part of the Rexford, N.Y. club’s new redevelopment proposal, golf would be reduced from 27 to 18 holes, a new clubhouse would be built and the existing clubhouse would be converted into the senior-care facility. Additonal residential units are in the plans, as well as new recreational offerings, such as pickleball.
The Edison Club Seeks to Cut Nine Holes, Build Homes
The Rexford, N.Y. club, which was originally conceived by employees of General Electric and traces its origins to 1904, is proposing to reduce its 27-hole course to 18 and build a bundled community of 206 dwellings on 79.4 of its 287.7 acres. Buyers would be required to join the club, which has seen membership drop to a little more than 550. “Without this transition, our future is dubious,” said General Manager Craig McLean.
