DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. — Over the past few years, the once lush emerald fairways on the two golf courses winding through the Pelican Bay neighborhood have been sprouting weeds, anthills and parched brown patches of grass.
The south course has been completely idled for more than three years, and while the north course still has golfers swinging clubs on it every day, it has slid into second-rate condition. Both courses are saddled with liens.
A Tennessee-based company called Golf Course Solutions is under contract to buy the two 18-hole courses, and the company’s leaders say they want to restore the top-tier quality of the Pelican Bay links and make them their flagship courses.
