I really hope and pray that by some miracle this remains a green space...

Hope whoever buys the houses in that area get flood insurance.

Jen4747 : They wont need it because most of the golf course is on black cat ridge which is the highest point in kingwood. BUT, everyone who lives in the streets below who have never flooded before (but came close) should probably get insurance. I think by building on top of this hill it will be at the detriment of the existing residents not the new ones. Much of St Andrews which is right along one side of the course comes close to flooding houses everytime there is a heavy rain. All of the water that normally get soaked up by the empty golf course will probably soon be rolling out through those houses. Similar to the Perry Homes Fiasco in ElmGrove.

Texasdad : Would be nice if the City took the land and reopened it as a City Golf Course. We have very few public courses.

ZMAN : when the COH put that huge culvert from FC into the flood canal ditch a few years back, why didn't they widen and deepen the drainage ditch that runs behind the homes on the Northside of St Andrews. That ditch feeds into the culvert.

Sierra22tx : That would be great, I wonder if Forest Cove residents want that. I would think, they may vs houses and flooding.

Uh, the reason it's no longer a golf course is because there weren't enough golfers to make economic sense to remain open.

asasolid2r : I would argue though that the course was in pretty bad disrepair for at least 5 years leading up to its closure. Before the owner ran it into the ground because of a lack of upkeep it was a very nice busy course.

Uh, the reason it's no longer a golf course is because there weren't enough golfers to make economic sense for it to remain open. The COH already does too many things that make zero economic sense, another money losing golf course should not be high on anybody's priority list.
