“With COVID last year, we had a very good year,” Griffin said. “This being one of the most affordable golf courses in the area, business has been good. It’s hard to walk away from a successful business, but sometimes you’re ready.”Griffin said selling to another operator who could keep the course going would not be a viable option, though he noted that the deal with Godsey is not yet finalized.“I don’t know that we could sell it as a golf course, because they really couldn’t pay us what we’d have to get for it,” he said. “Golf courses are being sold daily for a fraction of what they were built for.”
“We don’t know this will happen. It’s an option,” Griffin said of Godsey’s proposal. “We’ve had offers on this golf course before. The zoning has been an issue in the past, and it may be this time. We don’t know. It’s far from a done deal.”
