The Club West Golf Course is up for sale – less than a month after The Edge unloaded it.
But it’s a safe bet duffers won’t be using the site again. A consortium of 15 investors had planned to build homes and retail on the 162-acre parcel and they’re marketing it to companies that will want to do the same.
According to the commercial real estate tracker vizzda.com, The Edge on May 29 sold the 18-hole course and 11,196-square-foot clubhouse for $2.1 million to the Community Harmony Coalition LLC.
That sale came a few months after The Edge won a ferocious four-year court battle with a group of homeowners called the Club West Conservancy who insisted it was not allowed to sell any portion of the site to a homebuilder.
The Conservancy also insisted that the land-use rights governing the course required it be used only for golf and that Shea Homes and its predecessor, UDC Homes, promised in sales agreements with homebuyers that the site would always remain a championship golf course.
