Now this is an interesting auction. No golf homes for sale – an honest to goodness’ private golf course is being auctioned off 23rd October in Wisconsin. The credit crunch continues to strike the wealthy and this private golf course is reluctantly being put up for auction at a considerable discount.
The course (which now has permission to be used as a public facility) was last listed for $795,000, but will now be sold at a minimum bid of $250,000. According to the auctioneers, this should not be mistaken for a “little par 3 course! This beautiful 3,000-foot, Par-34 golf course features tree-lined fairways, surrounded by beautiful wooded Wisconsin land.
• Has operated as private course but has received approval to operate as public facility.
• Fully irrigated by two modern Gould pumps & pumphouses.
• Bentgrass greens.
• Lush fairways of Kentucky Bluegrass and Wisconsin Fescue.
• Gated entrance.
• Adjacent acreage available from seller if buyer desires to expand to 18 holes.
• Less than an hour from the famous Wisconsin Dells, which draws thousand with its water and theme park, as well as its condos, homes and cabins.”
Sounds good to me. Or it would if I had a spare quarter million. The property is being auctioned by Albert Burney and their website is - here.
