After eight months of negotiations, the governing body for the far-northern Indianapolis suburb with 30,000 residents voted 5-2 to reject a Pulte Homes proposal for building up to 856 houses in a proposed 706-acre development surrounding Wood Wind Golf Course. The decision puts the future of the public course in jeopardy, reports said.

The new community in Westfield, Ind., will include nine-hole executive and 18-hole championship golf courses, both designed by Pete Dye, plus nature trails, 40 acres of parks, a clubhouse with swimming, fitness, tennis, dining, and bowling. Pete and Alice Dye will hit the inaugural tee shots at the grand opening event.

A developer is making Chatham Hills, a 750-acre property in Westfield, Ind., into a golf course community that will feature an 18-hole Pete Dye course and a nine-hole course. According to the developer, the city has seen its population triple in the past 10 years, and is believed to have been sparked by a major road upgrade and a $45 million project called Grand Park.
