San Ramon Golf course was purchased in 2015 by a developer. He has been trying to develop it since then, so far without success. A homeowners group similar to ours called Stay the Course San Ramon was formed has been an effective voice there. If you have a chance check out the links below to see what they are doing. Read the first link first for background. Check out the rest of their website as well. The second link “Annual Report 2017” gives the latest status. Share your thoughts with us.

The News Letter…Love it or Hate it?
The group of concerned MC homeowner’s that has sponsored this Blog has published it’s first newsletter. It is now being hand-delivered to all MC homeowners with the intent of keeping everyone informed of the current happenings in our community. We decided to fill the gap left vacant by our current Board and Management Company. We all deserve to know what is going on and not just get bits of the news at the periodic HOA meetings. We would love your feedback on the newsletter and comments on the topics it covers. Please post your thoughts on this blog.
Is Shrinking the Golf Course a Possible Solution?
Is it possible that if the Golf Course owners can’t convince the homeowners to provide a subsidy, the Golf course could shrink from its present form to either a 9 hole course, or modified to an 18 hole short course? This writer had a discussion with Charlie Gibson yesterday and he indicated this would be his preference if the subsidy fails to materialize. According to Charlie, the concept would be to close the back 9, a possible cost savings of over $400,000 in water, maintenance, etc. The front 9 in whatever form would continue to operate along with the pavilion. That’s where Charlie apparently stands, at least at this writing.
Some goods, some bads in this proposal. Your thoughts.
Planned HOA Golf Course Meeting Postponed
We understand there was to be a public forum on May 15 sponsored by our HOA board. It was to discuss the Golf Course owners proposal to obtain a subsidy from the owners. According to the Course owners the subsidy is necessary to keep the course operating as it is without change. We have heard the meeting is being postponed, and instead, the regularly scheduled Board meeting and owners forum will take place. Perhaps some more Q & A about the proposal will be possible. We urge you to attend.
The reason for postponement is unclear. Whatever it is, it appears we don’t yet have a meeting of the minds on what is being proposed.
