CALUMET COUNTRY CLUB SOLD-TO ARIZONA DEVELOPER

PUT SOME MAGIC IN YOUR GAME-WITH THE HOUDINI SOLE, new from Tour Edge. ______________________________________________________________________

   THE HISTORIC CALUMET COUNTRY CLUB has been sold to a Arizona developer.

The historic Calumet Country Club has been sold to an Arizona based developer Golfers on Golf has learned.

The sale was brokered by Wilmette Illinois based Links Capital Partners, and Chris Charnas. Golfers on Golf has reached out to LCP and Charnas for comment, and still is awaiting more details.

Over a year ago-Diversified Partners of Arizona was attempting to purchase the club at that time. It does remain unclear if Diversified was the buyer of the club, but likely is.

The plan was for retail stores, maybe some homes and a trail. It’s unknown what the current plan might be. But it does seem that the clubs long golf history, that includes a win by the famous Byron Nelson, is likely over.

Whether or not the club is open in 2021 for one final season of golf remains to be seen.

The Illinois Golfer is expected to have a story shortly, that includes more on the golf history of Calumet Country Club, that only a few years ago hosted the 87th Illinois State Amateur Championship won by Patrick Flavin of Highwood Illinois.
