Sapphire Mountain Golf Course For Sale-Now in Bankruptcy
Pre-Foreclosure for Sapphire Mountain Golf Course in Western North Carolina. The latest news!
Formally the Sapphire Mountain Golf Course, now Sapphire National Golf Course. Sapphire National Golf Course is one of the only public golf courses in the Western North Carolina mountains, specifically the Cashiers, Highlands exclusive resort community.
For additional information on the golf course please call 813-784-7744
The latest news posted in the Crossroads Chronical Newspaper in March 2010:
Sapphire National LLC, which includes Sapphire National Golf Club was placed in Involuntary Bankruptcy Chapter 11 by its creditors on March 22-23. The course and adjacent Sapphire Brewing Company remain open and according to co-managing partner Craig Shatto, the struggling business needs local support now more than ever to survive.
More History:
This was an orignal article published in the local newspaper in 2007 explaining the improvements that were going to be made by current owners who now have the course for sale.
By Kelly Donaldson, Editor
The Sapphire Valley Master Association voted 7-0 to approve the plans for the future of the golf course."A lot of hard work went into this project over the last 100 days and we were very pleased with the turnout and support that we had from the community and master board," said potential new buyer Shatto. "We're looking forward to the restoration of the golf course and enhancing the play. In doing so, working with the community and all its members on activities and other events."
"I believe it's a win, win, win for everybody," said Mays, the current owner. "It's a great thing for the community. It's a great thing for the golf course to stabilize and make a community that we all want."
Some of the details revealed at last Tuesday's meeting were that over $1.5 million would be spent on golf course improvements over the next year. There are plans for new clubhouse facilities; to honor special annuals and Sapphire amenity holders; first of right refusal and option for SVMA to purchase the course prior to year 2011; small development around the course involving a possible Inn, restaurant, spa, condos or timeshares, and overall improvement of the property."The whole deal is on go," said SVMA board member Jack O'Connell. "What they presented to us, the entire board took a vote and voted 7-0 to proceed with it. We told them we'd cooperate any way we could, within reason. "We the people that came to the meeting if we should proceed, and everyone agreed we should," added O'Connell. "Not one person raised their hand and said we shouldn't. It's for the good of the area and to see if we can make it better."
One noteworthy detail from the public hearing was speculation that litigation by both parties could be exonerated, meaning ongoing legal battles between current owner Danny Mays and the SVMA will end, paving the way for a fresh start for the new owners and the SVMA.
"There's definitely a possibility of that happening," said Mays. "That would be another win for everyone involved." O'Connell also agreed that the lawsuits may be dropped. "I understand that is the way it is, that all the lawsuits are to be dropped," said the board member. "But I can't speak for other people as far as the board is concerned."
The new buyers intend to have a "meet and greet" party sometime in mid-October to present their plans regarding golf course renovations and development, as well as to receive overall feedback from the players and owners. "We'll be discussing the restoration," said Shatto.
The first public meeting was held on July 9, also at the Sapphire Valley Community Center, where about 250 people attended and listened to the potential new owners' introduction and overview of plan.
Overall, O'Connell said changes at the course were almost necessary for progress. "Not to go forward is to go backwards," said O'Connell.

Things to do Memorial Day-Cashiers,Highlands,Sapphire NC
Spring is almost here and Highlands, NC has plenty to do
Highlands Up on the plateau the outdoors mix with the upscale.
A Western North Carolina Resort Town
Highlands is on the west side of a mountain plateau that drops abruptly down on both sides and is surrounded by national forest land. The area has evolved as a high-end resort community, home to upscale boutiques, spas, wine tastings, fine art galleries, professional theater troupes, a summer chamber music series, numerous country clubs and golf courses, and an endless selection of fine dining.
At 4,100 feet in elevation, Highlands is actually in a temperate rainforest and receives about 90 inches of rain a year. The town straddles the Eastern Continental Divide — water falling on one side flows to the Atlantic, on the other to the Mississippi River and Gulf of Mexico. The elevation also contributes to the town’s extremely seasonal residency, as once the leaves fall so does the population.
It is said that the town of Highlands was conceived in the late 1890s by two developers, Samuel Kelsey and Clinton Hutchinson. Kelsey and Hutchinson drew two lines on a map, one from New York to New Orleans, the other from Chicago to Savannah. The intersection, they thought, would be ideal for a resort. They thought right.
In the late 1920s, construction of Highlands Country Club put the town on the map. Golfing great Bobby Jones had a summer home at the club, and he still holds the course record.

WNC Golf Courses popular in UK
America is a country of incredible golfing diversity - from the desertscapes of the south-west to the forested parkland lay-outs of the Appalachians to the stunning coastal gems of California and Florida. But one area really stands out for the variety and sheer number of quality courses it offers.
 |
| From WESTERN NC REAL ESTATE INSIDER |
North Carolina, on the US eastern seaboard to the south of Washington DC, boasts more than 400 golf courses sprinkled from the highest mountains east of the Mississippi to its 300 miles of beautiful coastline.
According to the National Golf Foundation, North Carolina is one of the five most popular destination states for golf travelers - and it's remarkably accessible from the UK.
What's more, golf is just as much of a tradition in this part of the US as it is here in the UK, with courses stretching back to late Victorian times.
North Carolina has more than 70 golf courses ranked by Golf Digest as four star or higher. Pinehurst No. 2 and Wade Hampton Golf Club in Cashiers (near Asheville) both ranked among the world's top 100 courses according to Golf Magazine.
