Looks like another local course has closed it's doors. http://www.africanamericangolf../

Long removed from it's heyday it was still a good after work round for not much money.

Wow. It has been for sale for a while now. I hope they somehow keep it a golf course.

I noticed that a few weeks ago as I was looking at perhaps playing there. According to an article online, the property is for sale for development, like there isn't enough housing in that area already.

Yeah probably, it's never in really good shape but the price is always rock bottom. Good beginners/kids layout.

Don't get me started. My Home Club of 20 years is closing it's doors for good on June 30th. A developer is building condos on it and I will be crying myself to sleep for a month. Totally sucks!

You might cry yourself to sleep but you won't LOSE sleep over it. If fact you probably won't even miss a single day of golf.

On the contrary; I'd sell my kids on the Black Market to prevent it.

ACtually, I'd sell you instead...

Yes, but the deal I knew about didn't pan out. I hate to see courses get developed, but this course is truly a dump and will not be missed by many.

Historical Note: first minority owned course in the country. I believe it is also listed as such at the USGA museum.
