The six-year battle over the future of the Ahwatukee Lakes Golf Course could land before the nation’s highest court, owner Wilson Gee’s attorney disclosed last week.
Attorney Daniel Maynard told Superior Court Judge Campagnolo said he would be asking the high court to grant his appeal from Arizona courts’ decision requiring Gee to restore the 18-hole executive course that has been closed since 2013 and the subject of a prolonged court fight since 2014.
Maynard is expected to ask the justices to consider the argument that ordering Gee to spend millions restoring a course that likely would not turn a profit violates the 13th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, which abolished slavery.
