A news release shows Wekiva Golf Club will continue operating as a golf course during the transition and the former Deer Run Golf Course property will be “converted to a passive park over time,” featuring a clubhouse building.
County officials said Seminole County, alongside Down to Earth Golf LLC, will deal with maintenance issues as they crop up.
In October, 67.3% of residents also voted in favor of the creation of a Municipal Services Benefit Unit for the property, according to the county. The unit’s contributions will amount to around $2.3 million over 15 annual installments to be collected in property tax starting 2022.
Public meeting to discuss planned improvements for each property will start in the spring of 2022.
