Golf club to accept bids on part of River Trace property

The East Gadsden Golf Club will open bids July 30 on selling about 14.5 acres of the River Trace Golf Course according to Bennett Tucker, chairman of the club's board of directors.

The sale is part of a plan for the club to pay off debts while continuing to operate an 18-hole golf course.

The club, which operates River Trace, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy Dec. 29, the day before the property was to be sold by First Jackson Bank of Stevenson.

First Jackson Bank has the mortgage on the approximately 103-acre course and is owed about $2.57 million. The course had other debts as well totaling about $2.7 million in February.

"That would pay all our debts," Tucker said of the sale, "and would be sufficient to relocate those three holes to maintain an 18-hole course."

Tucker said the bids will be opened at 4 p.m. at the course's club house. The winning bid will then have to be presented to the bankruptcy court for approval.

"We've had interest locally and otherwise," Tucker said, adding that proposals have been mailed to several companies that indicated interest in the past.

U.S. Bankruptcy Judge James Robinson last month approved a plan by the club to sell the front acreage of the course to pay its debt.

According to the club's motion to sell the portion of the property, the front 16 acres in 2004 were appraised at $3.4 million and the remaining acres were appraised at $10.25 million.

The minimum bid that will be accepted is $3.75 million, which Tucker said would pay off the course's debt, pay shareholders a small amount and also finance plans to move three holes so the course can be operated as an 18-hole course.

Tucker said the board of directors already has approved the sale and the property has been zoned commercial.

He said bids can be submitted to the pro shop at the course or to a board member.
