A number of communities in our area are facing this problem including the community that I live in. Some are finding they must buy their golf course and are finding their home owner’s fees increase from $150 per quarter to over $300 a month. There are a few communities where their home owner’s fees are over $1000 a month (but that includes trash pickup). It is almost impossible to sell one of these homes. In our community the golf course is privately owned and the HOA voted NOT to even touch this. Fortunately they’ve found a buyer who is going to reopen the course.
Ten years ago most of the residents did not think this would be a problem.
FRISBEE GOLF
Live near a Frisbee Golf course. It stays busy and actually attracts quality people. The young have a preoccupation instead of vandalism.
