DJ V Lawrence Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 Is the golf course nice enough to host an Open? Or is it meant to be a community course? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
islander Posted January 11, 2007 Author Share Posted January 11, 2007 The intent has been to bring it to "signature" status which would attract tournament activity. The goal has always been to keep it available to the public - it has always been a public course - but the agreement provides the sorely needed funds to upgrade the course.
