The fight to save the Golf Club in Cape Coral is officially over. The owners tried to sell the course, but couldn't find a buyer. Residents on the course are left wondering what's going to happen to the property.
The last ten feet of Anna and Tom Budick's yard is golf course – part of the Golf Club in Cape Coral. They thought they were going to lose part of the yard several months ago.
"I thought there was a big petition of something, yeah, the school district, but didn't it go south?" said Anna Budick.
That deal didn't work out and neither did nearly a dozen other offers over the last year. The owners decided they will close the course.
"We've been owners and operators since 2001. We fixed up a good golf course, we've been trying to find ways to generate revenues, we just haven't been able to," said owner Scott Siler.
Right now homes around the golf course have a great view but that will change August 1st.
"Is it going to look like today? No. Will the grass be ankle high? Maybe. The property will be maintained just not as a golf course," said Siler.
The owners have had two offers from buyers who wanted to keep the golf club a course, but later backed out after thinking they couldn't make money off the property.
