Loch Nairn - Chester County Pennsylvania - to become open space
« on: May 27, 2021, 10:31:42 AM »
This week Chester County approved a series of grants for open space acquisitions and improvements.  See article below near end it covers the topic at hand.


Included in this was $863k to acquire the golf course. This may just be the county’s contribution as the place always seemed busy to me and fronts on major road.[size=78%] Family designed, built, owned and operated for 40+ years.[/size]


It’s a Doak 3 (about the average course).

I played there about 20 times during my first stay in Chester County. I didn't play much golf at that time. It scratched an itch and I enjoyed it more than I did Wyncote.

I would be up for a last round meet up. Driven by it a bunch of times but never played.

Loch Nairn, a local favorite dating to 1970, will become a nature preserve, according to the dailylocal.com. At 6,400 yards, it was the right mix of challenging and entertaining. The final two reviews were heartfelt sendoffs from regulars: "Goodbye. I like playing the course. I played more often than all the other golf courses around me. I’m going to miss Loch Nairn." - Glenn1954"Thanks for the memories. The greens were in better shape than some other courses I play that are going to stay open." - Brothermike

Sounds like San Geronimo in west Marin county, that closed.  Amid a vast area of open space, the local activists wanted more.  A beautiful place to play, back in the day.
