<br />
HSL Properties sold the El Conquistador Country Club to the town a few years back. The town has lost millions on this venture. The town commissioned a study to determine what to do. The town has held 3-secretive country club member-only meetings. The council will make a "decision" sometime this month. <br />
<br />
The best financial option would favor Oro Valley's 43,000 residents. The best financial option would anger the 250 or so country club members. <br />
<br />
On February 7, Mary Jacobs, the Oro Valley Town Manager, recommended investing more money into the Town of Oro Valley Country Club. She seeks $4.7M to $5M on golf and the community center.<br />

She recommended this in the face of very long odds. Watch our video that follows to learn about all of the options. <br />
<br />
Our community already has too many "holes of golf". All courses in town are struggling financially.<br />
<br />
The national trend shows a decline the number of rounds played. <br />
<br />
Yet, Town Manager Jacobs predicts an 8% to 10% increase in the number of rounds of golf played at the Town of Oro Valley Country Club.<br />
<br />
One option is to convert the golf courses to open space parks. This would benefit all 43,000 residents and not just a few. <br />
