For more than 90 years, golfers have teed up at Glenwood Golf Course on Creighton Road in Henrico county. Now, if developers get their way, people will be heading to that part of Virginia to buy a new home.
The 120 acre property is set to be sold if the county approves the plan which the devoloper, Godsey Properties, wants for 320 homes split between 2 subdivisions. According to Richmond BizSense, so far the county doesn't love the idea and has it's own vision for the land.
The golf course's co-owner, Harry Griffin says either way now may be the time, “Golf is not where it used to be. Everybody will tell you that. And at some point in time we’ve just got to take a step back and do something else, like retire. Sometimes you’re just ready to go.” However, even Griffin says, "It's far from a done deal."
