“It’s a shame for the city, for everybody that it is closing. It’s been through a lot, the Great Depression, a couple of World Wars, a pandemic. It needed more members,' Tom Counts of Decatur said. 'There’s a lot of overhead to keep a large club going.”
“It is not a path desired to be taken,” he said Thursday. “It was the direction that had to be taken. ... We’re all sad it is closing.”A club member most of his life, Tom Counts of Decatur said overhead expenses were an issue.
Fowler, a Decatur Country Club member for over 55 years, said the existence of a thriving Burningtree Country Club a few miles away should keep Decatur Country Club’s closure from hurting the city’s ability to attract young professionals and new industries. “The Decatur Country Club property has tremendous opportunity as it is one of the largest undeveloped properties in the city, with a great central location,” he said. “... The grounds could be attractive for a properly designed mixed-use development incorporating housing and other amenities that could attract growth.
Brian Cook, Cook’s Pest Control president and chief executive officer, said the country club stayed on as a tenant in the club’s building, a lease that includes the swimming pool and tennis courts.
