Homebuilder D.R. Horton Inc. purchased the 172-acre golf course from Civix Sarasota GC LLC, which bought the property out of foreclosure for $2.2 million in November 2003 and planned a residential development for nearly a decade. The golf course closed in May 2013 to make way for a new development, but D.R. Horton declined to comment on its plan for the property.
