Amazing Golf Course

Horrible shape

Had a great time today,no wait and greens are in really good shape

April 22, 2019Closing of The Links Golf Club effective June 10, 2019In 2001, my wife Beverly and I made the decision to purchase the The Links Golf Club. This was not an easy decision due to the poor condition of the course, the investment that was required and the uncertainty of the golf business overall. With an excellent maintenance staff and a large investment, we were successful in building the course into an integral part of Beacon Woods East and Pasco county as a whole. Over the years, we continued offering affordable golf while simultaneously providing a quality course experience. We were not, however, able to complete many of the major capital projects that were essential to the longevity of the course. In order to sustain and protect the courses longevity, many capital improvements were needed, i.e. greens renovation, t-box renovations, cart paths, pump station, maintenance equipment and other miscellaneous capital. We knew that this situation had to be addressed.In my letter dated March 2013, we developed a proposal to obtain assistance from the Beacon Woods East community by approving a nominal fee of $100 per year, per home. In return, each homeowner would receive a golf membership which included discounted green fees. The homeowners membership would assist the club by completing many of the necessary capital improvements needed to ensure the life of the golf course. The membership would directly preserve not only the integrity of the community, but the values of the surrounding homes as well. The proposal did receive support from Fairway Oaks and various individuals and groups, but was not approved by the Master Association. We received no assistance, or any further consideration.We have worked hard the last few years to deal with this inevitable problem hoping that the Links would continue to be an important part of the community. However, due to the financial considerations, and the lack of homeowner associations support, we have not been able to make it work. As a result, we have reluctantly made the difficult decision to close down the course, pro shop, restaurant, driving range, and all other related facilities as of June 10, 2019.Whats in store for the property is not known at this time. Homeowners and the Association will be kept aware of any changes or conditions that affect the property.Since buying Beacon Woods Golf Course a few years ago, we have made considerable improvements which provide an enjoyable and playable layout. I hope the dedicated players at the Links will take advantage of our excellent course at Beacon Woods. Our pro shop staff will work with you and your groups to secure tee times. We look forward to all groups and individuals joining us at Beacon Woods.

We live in the community and have played this course regularly. It is so sad that it is closing June 10, 2019. It also very much ANGERS me that the owners (Lowman Law Group) did not go to the surrounding community and afford an opportunity for us to help keep it open or, purchase the course. Instead, they kept it a secret and have lowered our property values as a result of thier actions! Dollars before a community seems to be the way nowadays. Sinful!
