Screw Deed restrictions say owners of golf course

Comment Up
What brings people to Florida?  No state income tax, warm weather year round, our great beaches, recreation and golf courses.

Now that the real estate market is turning for the better, developers and those holding onto land who have been sitting in the wings are now showing their ugly faces.  West Palm Beach's Century village does not have to feel alone about its deed restricted golf course and its owners desires to sell off to developers.

The 18-hole "Casselberry" course at the Casselberry Golf Club facility in Casselberry, Florida features 5,472 yards of golf from the longest tees for a par of 69 . The course rating is 65.6 and it has a slope rating of 111.  Designed by Paul McClure, the Casselberry golf course opened in 1946.

Some Trivia on Florida golf courses:
Number of golf courses - more than 1,250
-Florida has more golf courses than any other state
-Palm Beach County has more golf courses than any other county in the country

"The owners of the Casselberry Golf Club have sued the city, claiming that a decades-old deed restriction preventing them from building on the property is unlawful." Well of course it is.  When it comes to making money, people will find or invent any loophole to their advantage.

These people are predators,not developers. They buy golf courses "to manage" ,let everything go to hell,and then whine that their only possible solution is to put condos on the property.Sadly, these predators own the judges and the law makers in Florida,so the residents don't have a chance!Everything is stacked in the land speculators favor.
