The golf course has a long history as a top notch golf course. It went through a few decades of management failure and then they decided to convey the course to Stuart's company - one of em. As part of the transfer, the course was totally redesigned. The city kicked in $4mil for a 3 hole course and driving range on the land. BTW, the golf course is really nice. Even the par 3 on the college land is very nice.
