Rumors have been flying about concerning the Golf Course owners closing all or part of the course and selling to a developer.  While an attempt could be made, in this writer’s opinion, the path would be long and difficult and the outcome uncertain.  Just a few of the many obstacles would be.

• The land is virtually land-locked. Though not impossible, ingress and egress would be a problem without HOA permission.
• There is no infrastructure for sewer, water, power, etc. Installing these by a developer would be very costly.  Permitting could take many years.  There is much less expensive land in other areas in the surrounding community which would be less costly and more likely to succeed.
• The course contains many open space and protected areas, for example the riparian sanctuary along Dry Creek and the habitat of the endangered elderberry longhorn beetle.
• Likely strong Morgan Creek homeowners opposition.

In our opinion, development of the golf course for housing is an unlikely scenario and may be a smoke screen for promoting the course owners subsidy proposal.
