LAKE WILDERNESS GOLF COURSE UPDATE:
The Maple Valley City Council met on 11/27/2017 to make the decision of either creating a task force or hiring a consultant regarding the future of the golf course.
As no LWHOA Board Members were able to attend the City Council meeting, a follow-up e-mail was sent to Councilmember Megan Sheridan.
Per Megan Sheridan: “We did decide to do the consultant. So we will at least get some suggestions and hope to put together a master plan with those recommendations. We do have council members that do not feel there is money to put towards the golf course at all. Now or in the future without doing another parks bond. My suggestion would be to connect all of your residents, HOA and non-HOA, to stay on top of these discussions. When we get the recommendations back you will want to make sure you are a loud collective voice representing all residents encouraging council to do something and not have the golf course just sit. It is an asset that needs to be talked about and decided upon.”
