The City of Warner Robins will entertain a pitch to buy a second golf course.
Mayor Chuck Shaheen said city leaders will meet Wednesday with the owners of the Landings Golf Club to talk about the possibility of buying it.
The course is located off Highway 247 in the Statham's Landing neighborhood. It is an up-scale, golfing community in Houston County. It is owned by the Landings Investment Group, LLC.
According to a public notice, it was supposed to go up for public auction Jan. 3rd at the Houston County Courthouse, but the Atlanta attorney for the bank holding the club's loan, Andrew Matteson, said the Landings Investment Group filed bankruptcy before the auction date.
The public notice valued the property at $2.5 million.
Matteson says the LLC filed for bankruptcy before the foreclosure process could take place.
According to Houston County tax records, the group owes more than $104,838.12 in personal property taxes, which would include taxes on golf carts and other equipment used at the course. They also owe $3,739.09 in property taxes.
Shaheen said he agreed to meet with the owners to hear their sales pitch Wednesday, but doesn't think the city needs two golf courses.
He said it's a possibility that the city could sell the International City Golf Course. Then, buy The Landings course in hopes of turning a profit.
Shaheen said the loan on the International City Golf is paid-off.
The Landings CEO Ed Wolfe has not returned 13WMAZ's call for comment.
City council members said they planned to attend Wednesday's meeting to hear the pitch, but could not comment further, because they did not know the details.
