It may be tough to make a go of a golf resort just now, but Zillah is a great place for a wine themed resort IMO.

boy that must suck to be the one guy who owns a house in that subdivision...like the people who buy in early on golf course housing only to have very few others buy in after them

I think Lochenheath in MI is like this....too bad, as the golf course is pretty good

In the article...

Quote
DeAtley, former owner of Superior Asphalt of Yakima, was promptly moved to the front row as a founding member and purchaser of a home site at the 500-acre resort he described as a tipping point for the future of the wine industry. Founding members are those who have committed money for a home site in the development.

Yet another asphalt man in the vanguard of cutting edge golf course promotions...
