On June 17, the Village of Homer Glen announced that the future Village Hall Park Property (previously known as the Woodbine Golf Course) would not be returning to use as a golf course. At the May 27, 2015 Village meeting, the Board approved a draft management agreement with Woodbine Golf Management, Inc., previous operators of the Woodbine Golf Course, to operate the course for the remainder of the 2015 and all of the 2016 seasons. Subsequent to that meeting, the Village of Homer Glen and representatives of Woodbine Golf Management were not able to reach a mutual agreement. “The Village was happy to consider a management agreement with the previous operators of the golf course in an effort to save our residents the cost of maintaining the property for the 2015 and 2016 seasons,” stated George Yukich, Mayor. “Despite best efforts on both sides, an agreement to continue the golf operation could not be reached,” continued Mayor Yukich.
“I want to thank the courses previous owners and operators, Jim and Pat Ludwig, for their contributions to the Homer Glen community,” stated the Mayor. “Now that we know that the golf course will not be re-opening, we can continue our work on improving stormwater detention issues in the Woodbine area and also continue to focus on the planning for our future community park,” concluded Mayor Yukich.
The Village encourages residents to e-mail ideas and suggestions on what they would like to see on the future park property to village@homerglen.org or to download the public comment form, from the Village’s website, and use it to send suggestions to the Village of Homer Glen, Re: Future Village Hall Park Property, 14933 S Founders Crossing, Homer Glen, IL 60491.
