It appears that this course and attendant amenities is the subject of a Bankruptcy Court sale.  Does anyone know anything about it?

The broker offering it for a bankruptcy sale sent out the notice yesterday.  Whether the next owner can make it is an open question.  I was wondering if anyone has any direct knowledge about the course

I probably spent about one hour there about 10 years ago.  I think it is remarkable that the buildings are still standing, and there is any grass on the course.  Huge credit to anyone's efforts on site.  The location is bad at best.  I figured with the infrastructure that it would have been shutdown and the planning of alternative land uses pretty far down the road by now.  I don't think it has a future as a golf resort.

It must be kept in mind that the elusive charm of the game suffers as soon as any successful method of standardization is allowed to creep in.  A golf course should never pretend to be, nor is intended to be, an infallible tribunal.
