Eagle Valley Golf Course in McCutchanville announced it will close for good on New Year’s Day.
Since 1994, the Brinker family has owned the property, as well as Brinker’s Jewelers, but it will soon belong to the EVSC.
A tough goodbye as the family put major capital improvements into infrastructure and equipment recently.
A Facebook post says the family was optimistic the local golf industry would turn around, becoming a viable business until EVSC wanted the land.
“It’s just the concern of how it’s gonna be maintained,” said neighbor Mike Malone, “It’s a selling point to have the view with 100+ acres wooded plus lakes it definitely has an advantage when it’s right in front of your house.”
Many now are worried about what they’ll be seeing out their front window instead of that.
“Will the school corporation or someone who leases the course will they maintain it to keep it up to golf course standards with grass or will it be higher? How often will it be mowed?” are a few questions Malone has.
There’s no word as to when construction will start, but the family and EVSC hope to keep the course open but it would not be run by the Brinker family.
