With a critical court ruling expected any day and an even more critical election two weeks away, Club West’s defunct golf course has polarized the community of 2,600 homeowners.
Radically divergent views of the course’s future – and, more significantly, how to achieve it – have made the Foothills Club West Association board of directors and the Club West Conservancy the chief combatants in the months-long debate.
The court ruling and the upcoming HOA board election could determine how course owner The Edge and its affiliate, Community Land Solutions, will deal with the 160-acre site that it bought for $750,000 from Wilson Gee, who holds the note on the deal.
