WESTLAKE, Ohio -- The Meadowood golf course was a successful venture in Westlake until the recession of 2008. Still, the course has remained open year-round even though revenue is decreasing.

City Recreation Director Bob DeMinico said discussions are going on to decide just what to do with Meadowood. The golf course is located at the northwest corner of Center Ridge and Crocker roads.

We have been through various meetings and, through the master plan process of 2015, it was mentioned we should look at and consider whether to abandon the course, continue it or find other uses, DeMinico said.

One thing is clear already, though, as DeMinico said that Mayor Dennis Clough is committed to always having that as green space. There is no interest in developing it into any kind of development. The property is prime real estate and we want to make sure we do the right thing with it.

Ideas include things such as a practice facility (driving range) with a short game area or a putting green.

"We are also looking at just a nine-hole golf course, he said, noting that a lot of people today dont have the time to play a full 18 holes.

A city ordinance was passed Nov. 7 authorizing Clough to enter into a professional services contract with Fry/Straka Global Golf Course Design for professional architectural services.

We feel we have one of the best, if not the best, architectural firms in the country, said DeMinico. If all goes well in the spring with a minimum of three plans presented to council, we hope the project will be ready for the golf season of 2021.
