SIERRA VISTA, Ariz. — Sierra Vista ’s city council approved the acquisition of the city’s only golf course Monday evening, during a special council meeting. The agreement makes it the city’s responsibility to pay off Castle & Cooke's debt of $609,711.31.
The members and those who live by the country club say they are happy that the golf course is going to be maintained.There are more than 300 homes that line the golf course, and even more are in the surrounding neighborhoods. The council voted unanimously to acquire the property. The concern for some is how an abandoned golf course could affect people moving to the area, and safety hazards for those living close by. Terres and Genssa Mahoney, who both live in one of the neighboring communities, says she was concerned about homeless encampments moving onto the course if it were to become vacant.The city plans to hire a management company to run the golf course and make improvements to the facility, that's currently losing $360,000 a year.
He said Paradigm Golf Group is the company they are looking to contract with. He also says they are willing to take the current financial loss the country club is experiencing, instead of having the taxpayers pay for the loss."I think it has a heck of a lot of potential," she said."It just, it just hasn't been utilized as it should.”
