Burr left Landmar in late 2007 following his unsuccessful attempt to acquire the company he founded from Crescent.
What a MULLIGAN
That is much better pricing than what the city of Palm Coast paid for the Palm Harbor course. That also means the properties around the Matanzas course now goes up a minimum of $50,000 a home, assuming they open the course up. Now Toby, who is the buyer?
Grand Club Sale
$2.2M for the Grand Club is a deal if the buyer is willing to put some $$$$’s into Matanzas and reopen it. I bet he’d get that investment back in a couple years. There aren’t to many people around who don’t like the layout. That was the course that prompted a ton of people to join the Grand Club back when.
See ya! Down the middle – Golf I
Matanzas Golf Course
Hello Toby:
Good Morning Guy.
We don’t know if you are aware of this but when Arnold Palmer christened Matanzas Golf Course, he put the Golf Club he struck against the Clubhouse within the Clubhouse. Can you ask around since you have great love for Golf and ask to see if it is still there and can be preserved for future Palm Coast Golfers. We ask because we were there when he did it and we think it would be a great *treasure* not to lose.
Thank you very much.
Regards,
George
Is "The Donald" the new owner?
From what is posted on the web, it looks like we got Trumped. The bottom fisher, must have decided to become an apprentice golfer. I personally like the man. As a child his father would come to Albany, NY for the dealings with the New York state legislature. A Rolls would drop Donald off at the Palace Theatre where I would see him all dressed up in a suite and tie, looking like Dapper Dan. I would be dressed in pegged pants, babby duck cordovans(taps front and back), a leather jacket with my Lucky Strikes, and my pompadore greased down hair. I do admit dressing makes the man, as I met my now passed wife Liz there in the balcony with my classic "hey you girls" opening and climb over the seats to join her. We were together over 50 years, behaps thanks to the encounter with Donald while waiting for the ticket window to open.

The Designer Dedicates Matanzas
Arnold Palmer came to town Wednesday, November 12, and as usual, attracted an army. He cracked the traditional club against the side of Matanzas Woods Golf Club’s new clubhouse- just as he had done to dedicate Pine Lakes Country Club five years earlier. Then he teed off with 120 fellow golfers-among them local leaders, state legistlators, business people and co-designer Ed Seay- in an invitational tourney. The day ended with a reception for members and golfers on the driving range, and then Arnie was off by helicopter, flying low over the crowd. "Florida’s next great golf course," in the words of Golfweek magazine, is not officially christened by the golf legend who designed it.

Pink Lakes New Members Lounge
Golfers are second only to fishermen in the telling of tall tales, and therin lies the logic behind "Fibber’s," resident Jay Bell’s winning entry in Sun Sport Recreation’s ‘Name the Pine Lakes Members Lounge’ contest.
With the closing of The Harbour Restaurant for Sheraton hotel construction, Pine Lakes Country Club restaurant-newly-remodeled and renamed ‘Champions" – opened its doors to the public last summer. Earlier this year Palm Coast Construction started work on a new members-only lounge and restaurant, due for completion this summer.
More than 400 contest entries poured in, ranging from the lofty and spirtual – "Treetops" and "Members’ Monastery" – to the jazzy and political _"Boogie Bar" and "Bourgeois Lounge," But "Fibber’s" came out on top, and earned Pine Lakes charter member Jay Bell a $200 gift certificate.
Palm Coast’s **three golf courses, by the way , are looking good and playing even better. Matanzas Woods and Pine Lakes were the host courses for the $ 80,000. Palm Coast Classic, A Tournamnet Players Association tour event, on February 23-March 1. ((** Our Cypress Knoll Golf Course pledged Amenity hadn’t been built yet))
