Where will you play golf?
Or... do you simply quit?
Unless you belong to a private country club in the area, your choices for golf have been eliminated or are in the process of being eliminated - ie… Ranchland Hills Golf Club. In the last 24 months, three 18-hole golf courses have been closed or are planning to close soon. First was Nueva Vista Golf Club in Midland and now Sunset Golf & Country Club in Odessa has been sold to the ECISD. Sound familiar? Sunset is scheduled to close on August 1, 2024. The MISD-owned Ranchland Hills Golf Club is said to be closing by September 30, 2024. So, between Midland and Odessa, we are losing 54-holes of golf in the area. Now what? Where will you play golf after all these closures? Will you choose another course as your go-to track? Or, will you simply throw in the towel and quit the game? Let us know by taking the poll below. This poll will close one week from today. We’ll report the results at that time. Thanks!
Hogan is overplayed and under maintained Ratliff is coming along nicely but there is so much riff raff associated with it now with sunset closing until that gets under control I will be taking 75/80 percent of my money elsewhere Ratliff is a much better option than hogan. I will be traveling to Andrews Hobbs Denver city I will buy my fuel and drinks and food from those municipalities when I am there rather than this area. It isn’t just about the golf alone it is about our leadership
Riff raff means people without any type of ethics or people that don’t care about the game until they are policed with some marshals it will only get worse
Hogan will never catch up on the maintenance as long as the same amount of of rounds are played you would have to put in another full course 18 and some sort of executive par 3 to see any relief and be able to catch up
Hogan isnt even a good place to hit rang balls the balls are so wore out they fly like a scalded cat the putting green is good and the chipping area is fair but way to small
