It will be interesting to see how The Crosby thing works out. I remember reading the original plans for Del Sur included an 18-hole golf course, and that plan was scrapped in favor of building more homes. Although the original owner sold out to Standard Pacific, I’ve heard they are very glad they made that choice before the water issues came up.
I agree that golf courses in CA probably need to go, or at least be allowed to turn a shade of brown, during our water crisis. Perhaps they could be revived if mother nature ever decides to bless us with rain again–and I say this as someone who has played golf his entire life–and was raised at LJCC. We can live without golf–we can’t live without water.
