Lawyers in the Ahwatukee Lakes hearing got into the weeds – and the lakes, trees, irrigation valves and sand – as owner Wilson Gee’s right-hand man said he expects nine holes on the beleaguered course to be open for play by Thanksgiving.
Terry Dugan’s prediction came as three days of testimony across three weeks came to an end Oct. 6 on a hearing to determine if Gee’s company, ALCR, should be assessed as much as $500,000 for allegedly failing to follow a judge’s timeline for restoring the course.
It could be that half of the 18-hole executive course will open before Superior Court Judge Sara Agne rules on two homeowners’ request that Gee be assessed a contempt penalty.
