More than 300 people who live near the Las Vegas property secured a temporary restraining order to keep the course watered and vowed to set up human blockades to stop any attempts to tear it up, as part of their objection to the plans of new owner Ronald Richards, who sparked similar controversy after acquiring Escondido CC in California.
City to Take Over Management of Coal Creek GC
The Louisville (Colo.) City Council voted unanimously to bring management of the city-owned golf course in-house after ending its agreement with Western Golf Properties, which has managed the facility for 12 years. Flooding in September caused an estimated $3.5 million in damage to the course, which washed out up to 40 bunkers, damaged 14 greens and 14 tee boxes, destroyed three bridges and took out much of the course’s irrigation system.
