This is not isolated to Pebble Creek, but a national trend, a sort of  “golf course flopping  scheme”.  From Florida to Virginia to Nevada the story is the same. The golf course owner claims victimhood, saying they just can’t make it as a golf course. They let playing conditions deteriorate which kills their business. Following the script, they claim they are the only ones with declining memberships . Pebble Creek is part of a corporation that owns several courses, and  a range including mini golf and batting cages. A sad story is often painted  claiming that selling off for development is the only option with the knowledge that their property is not zoned for such. After trying to get the community’s sympathy, the owner and developer send

”confidence men” or ,con men , in to attempt appeasement of the residents often by offering minor amenities that are not guaranteed nor necessarily offered without charges.  This trend continues as developers see this as a way of “piggybacking “ on the existing infrastructure saving them greatly reduced development costs, impact fees and taxes at the cost of our home values and peaceful way of life
