Golfers May Spell End of Eaglecrest
The initial results of the survey from the Kim public information meeting show that the vast majority of those attending supported the proposal for new clubhouse and the development required.
Unfortunately of the 500 or so attending less than 125 indicated that they would join the club. This may lead to the Kims walking away from the deal.
I find it hard to understand how any golfer living on the course would not be interested. The initiation fee would be more than offset by the golf course maintaining their property value. Those not living on the course would still obtain inexpensive golf even if they only golf another 4 years. The average cost per round, at an average 100 rounds per year, works out to $28 about half the average green fee and continues to go down the more years you play.
If there are golfers out there that have not responded through the questionnaire or otherwise, I strongly suggest you email your intention to Paul Kim at pkim1977@yahoo.com before Jan 9th.
Its now up to the golfers to "Save Eaglecrest"

I hope Mr Kim will expand the range of participants to include resident non-golfers, by offering some kind of associate membership to them.
Also, has he considered that the majority of potential new residents in the 2 areas under construction will likely expect a golf course to be here, and would certainly join (which of course they cannot if they haven't yet bought up one of the lots).
Paul Kim should gamble with what he's got, and go ahead with the deal.
I fully believe that Mr Kim is not the only person who can save Eaglecrest as a golf course and if the past members and present residents aren't prepared to support his proposition then let's move on and see if there is another way to save Eaglecrest. I personally do not feel that he has our best interests in mind when he suggests that one of his win win situations is to have a bonfire in our community by burning down the clubhouse.
