I live in Dearborn and the local, city owned golf course has been closed for a year and a half. Flooding has decimated most of the course due to HUGE log jams on the Rouge River, running through the course. The course is essentially divided into halves by Telegraph road. This course has been around for decades. Well, a group of us has recently been making a pretty big push to get a course put in on the half that has seen the most damage and flooding. A terrific opportunity. Room for a fantastic course, with ponds and a river to work with. A clubhouse with food, liquor, showers a patio.... We spent quite a bit of time pitching the business, recreation and community benefits of such a venture. After a secret neighborhood meeting with the mayor, NIMBY's seem to have really busted up our efforts. Even more frustrating is that I am literally IN the neighborhood. The mayor ultimately telling us....guys, the city of Dearborn has NO interest in disc golf. Very sad, an incredible opportunity gone by the way side. But, as I said in a the Kentucky basket thread, you win some, you lose some. The city decided to put in the effort and open half of the golf course...the half opposite of our proposed disc golf course. Here is the announcement video.
