Wilson Gee and his partners have reached an agreement to sell the Foothills Golf Course.
Gee declined to discuss the sale, citing a nondisclosure agreement he has signed that remains in effect until a 45-day escrow period ends and pending a closing on the deal.
Gee had put the 166-acre course on the market earlier this year, along with The Duke, a course he and his partners own in Maricopa. The Foothills, built in 1988, was priced at $5 million and the sale included both the course and clubhouse.
Gee said he had taken the 137-acre Duke off the market because golf season is about to begin. That course had been priced at $8 million.
Multiple sources said that if the Foothills deal goes through, it will be managed by Troon, the world’s largest golf course management company.
Troon also figured prominently in the sale earlier this month of the legendary Longbow Golf Club in Mesa for $8.95 million to the Thompson Golf Group of Gilbert, which owns three courses, including on each in Gilbert, Cave Creek and Minnesota.
