The four partners who own the Club West Golf Course under the name The Edge last week filed a lawsuit against the Foothills Club West Community Association Board president and her husband, co-founder and a former president of the Club West Conservancy.
In a lawsuit filed against Julie and Matt Tyler and “unknown parties” that could be other Conservancy members, The Edge is seeking $5 million in damages, claiming it lost millions of dollars on its $750,000 investment in the 2019 purchase of the 162-acre course from Wilson Gee.
The suit singles out Matt Tyler and his “co-conspirators” of “unwarranted, wrongful, intentional and deceitful conduct” in connection with a series of actions that began a few weeks after The Edge rolled out its proposal for the course during a meeting of the Club West homeowners association board in January 2020.
