Boone Golf Club

Is owned by several families. Half are looking to sell; with plans to destroy the course and develop a 9 hole resort. This is the only public course in town and would hurt the community. Anyone interested should send notes to Boone town council to block rezoning efforts.

Don't live in Boone but it would be a shame if this happened.
Mountain Aire in West Jefferson is a super nice public layout that is also reasonably priced and close to Boone.

App needs to buy it.
Let the business program run it. Maybe team up with NC State for business ag program and maintain it-summer interns etc…. Could be cool to get a turf management program at App and this could be their baby.

It would be beneficial for App to control it for future development or so no private developer buys it. Control the land you control the decisions.

App buying it would be good. The Town of Boone buying it would also be good. Several older country clubs (like Monroe Country Club) have survived and flourished when rolled into a municipality's Parks and Rec Department. Could be a joint venture...
