Top Golf / new metro course rumors

[tigercy]

One of the at-large WDM council members lives in the southern third of Glen Oaks. I wonder if he has to recuse himself from this?

He is recusing (but is fully supportive of the project)

You can't find a house in Polk County (or much of Dallas) where you can't hear road noise. Trust me, I checked

I think there is a difference between hearing the interstate a mile away and being adjacent to 50K+ cars/day. I assume those buyers want interstate access to get to their jobs downtown

Should make for a fun HOA meeting and club championship this year

There is 7-8 homes and a thick patch of timber between him and the site... What a joke. My guess is the people who live on this end of Glen Oaks don't want to have to fight traffic on Grand getting home and are claiming "light pollution" to sound less stuck up

Isn’t this Jerod from Subway?

I haven’t been keeping up with this thread, so apologies if already discussed, but I had heard a year or so ago that Albaugh was intent on building a legit, PGA championship level course in Ankeny. Would one of these two courses be that, potentially?

Do not know about that.

Two additional? As in having three total?

That seems to be the rumor.

Ok. My first reaction to the idea when I heard it was “that’s ******* awesome. I hope it happens”. My second thought was “Man, Ankeny is awfully flat and barren. To build something that would could be considered a PGA event type course, there would need to be a hell of a lot of landscaping genius to pull off”.

That's awesome, it'll be nice to have two more courses close by that I won't be able to afford to play.

Seems odd he wants to build 2 new courses in Ankeny when he lives in Glen Oaks. #richfolkproblems
