Black Diamond golf course up for sale

Posted on Monday, 26th April 2010 in Citrus County FL News, Citrus County Golf News, Citrus County News, florida, Florida Golf News

Screen shot 2010-04-26 at 8.24.22 PMThe Black Diamond Ranch golf course in Citrus County, renowned for fairways carved around canyon walls of an abandoned limerock quarry, is up for sale, along with an adjacent golf residential community, a 28,000 square foot clubhouse and 550 acres of undeveloped land.

Stan Olsen, the 81-year-old developer who turned the Black Diamond Ranch in Citrus County into a residential golf community in 1987, is planning to retire.

Olsen and his company, Black Diamond Properties Inc., are interested in selling the entire business, including the two 18-hole and one nine-hole golf courses that feature the Tom Fazio-designed “Quarry Course.”

Golf Digest has rated Black Diamond among the nation’s top 100 for 20 consecutive years, while Golf Magazine Living ranked Black Diamond among the 25 best courses to live on in 2007-2008.

The Plasencia Group, Inc., a Tampa-based hospitality real estate firm Olsen retained to create a deal, said no asking price has been determined

The Tampa firm has handled deals involving PGA National in Palm Beach, Amelia Island Plantation near Jacksonville, the Hills of Lakeway in Austin, Texas, and Kingston Plantation in Myrtle Beach. S.C. It will help upgrade operations at the golf community to enhance sale prospects during the poor economy.

“We are committed to finding an investor with strong financial credentials who shares Mr. Olsen’s desire for a successful long-term strategy, and who will present a reasonable plan for enhancing the property and the value of the real estate,” Lou Plasencia, chairman and chief executive of The Plasencia Group, said in a release.

Five privately owned homes were listed for sale on the Black Diamond Club website with prices ranging from $319,000 to $325,000. Another 18 lots were offered for sale at prices between $9,000and $220,000.

Maggie Cart heeft Big T’s golf shop voortgezet, ze zit op de zelfde weg waar vroeger Big T zat. Ik weet niet precies waar, maar het zou halverwege het kruispunt en Big T moeten zijn.

Kwaliteit van golfbanen in Citrus County

Posted on Saturday, 3rd April 2010 in Citrus County Golf News, Citrus County News, Dutch News in Citrus County, Florida Golf, Florida Golf Tee Times, golf news, Golf Promotions, Tee Time Specials in Citrus County FL

Geachte lezers,

Ik wilde graag een eenvoudige ‘poll’ houden vwb de kwaliteit van de golf banen in Citrus County, zodat alle lezers een beetje een idee krijgen van de kwaliteit van andere golfbanen in de omgeving. Heeft U recentelijk op een baan gespeeld anders dan Lakeside laat het onze lezers dan weten.

Ik zou graag het volgende willen weten :

  1. Kwaliteit greens
  2. Kwaliteit fairway
  3. Kwaliteit Teebox
  4. Moeilijkheids graad golfbaan
  5. Green Fee Prijs
  6. Opmerkingen (vrije tekst)

Het is de bedoeling dat U de baan een rating geeft van 1 (slecht) tot 5 (uitmunted). Bijvoorbeeld :

Lakeside Golf Course : 1=5, 2=3, 3=3, 4=2, 5=4

Ok, ok, ……  ik zal hier wel wat commentaar op krijgen …… ha ha ha, maar nu serieus, Remco en ik hebben verleden week The Dunes gespeeld en hier is onze rating :

The Dunes : 1=4, 2=4, 3=4, 4=5, 5=5

(opmerking : Prijs krijgt alleen een 5 vanwege een discount coupon “2 playes for the price of one”. Wij betaalde $ 30 op Zaterdag morgen. The Dunes ligt er prachtig bij !)

U kunt heel eenvoudig hieraan meedoen door op “comments” te klikken onderaan dit artikel en Uw commentaar in te typen in het openstaande venster en daarna te klikken op “submit comment”. Ik zie U reacties gaarne tegemoet.

Vriendelijk bedankt,

Ronald

Great Tee Time Deal at the Plantation Golf Course

Posted on Saturday, 3rd April 2010 in Citrus County Golf News, florida, Florida Golf, Florida Golf News, Florida Golf Tee Times, golf news, Golf Promotions, Tee Time Specials in Citrus County FL

Picture 3At the Plantation Golf Resort & Spa, you’ll find an exclusive Central Florida golf resort featuring 27 holes of competitive and challenging golf originally designed by highly regarded course architect Mark Mahannah. Fifty years ago, Mahannah set out to create a rewarding course in the traditional “Florida” style with a variety of water and bunker obstacles. The course has certainly aged well, with an assortment of challenging fairways lined by mature emerald pine and oak trees native to the region, and water hazards on 21 of the course’s 27 holes.
