What statements has Renaissance Golf Group (RGG), the current majority owner of the Clear Lake Golf Club, made regarding the future of the golf course?
RGG has made many statements via public news releases, interviews with local journalists, and directly to CLCCL members and community residents. Generally, RGG has made it clear that they do not intend to sell the property to another golf course operator, instead focusing on gaining release from the current deed restrictions so the property could be sold to a developer at a much higher price. RGG has also said that the 2005 summer season would be the last season the golf course would be open for business. The golf course was permanently closed by RGG in October, 2005. RGG has stated that they will only maintain the property (i.e., mow the grass, etc.) enough to stay out of trouble with the CLCCA. An RGG rep once told CLCCL members that meant RGG would mow the property “every third CLCCA letter”.
