ATX - PGA-tour level golf project | Anyone know about this?
A bit of a random question. I found a report that the city of Austin Commissioned in 2019 diving into the management and business viability of the muni golf courses. As some of us might know, damn hard to get a decent tee time on a muni right now and with talk of Lions or even Hancock going away... I was interested in what the report had to say. Anyways, one of the interesting bullets points of the report was the mention of a development going in on the NE side. Curious if anyone knows anything about it. Except below:
"Decker Lake - Several years ago, there was a proposal before City council for a private
developer to build two 18-hole PGA TOUR-level golf courses on 735 acres of city-owned
land by Decker Lake, which is currently a fenced in area of the 3,700-acre Walter E. Long
park near Highway 130. The plan involves private interests in control of the construction
and the operation of the facility, subject to a revenue share with the City. The City told
NGF that this proposed project is currently on hold."
