Conservation Easements on Private Golf Courses
« on: March 11, 2013, 11:37:06 AM »
Do any of you know of a private golf course protected by a Land Trust conservation easement ?
Or, do you know of a private golf course owned by a Land Trust?

A former professor of mine is looking for precedent studies as part an academic project on which she is working.  I couldn't answer her questions, so I thought I would ask the treehouse.

Thanks

Steve,

I'm doing renovation work at Gil Hanse's Applebrook Golf Club on Philly's Mainline. I'm pretty sure this is a perfect example of a golf course that involves a conservation easement covenant between the club, township and conservation group.

Steve-

The Santa Lucia Preserve in Carmel, CA  may meet the criteria.

My understanding is that for any part of a golf course to be used for a tax credit or tax deduction conservation easement it has to be public.  Thts not to say that land around a golf course cannot be such.

Mike,

I am 100% certain of the two Philadelphia mentions already and neither are public nor do they have enough land attached to mean much at all.


Ian,

I'd be curious to hear about the work at Applebrook...it's one of my favorites. Happy to chat offline if preferred.

It is an interesting contrast to what did not work on The Vineyard:

Miacomet Golf Course and The Old Siasconset 9 on Nantucket Island are owned and operated by the Nantucket Land Bank, a land conservation program.
