When the new master plan for Forest Park was adopted by the Community Devel- opment Commission in December of last year, one issue , was as yet undecided. That concerned the reconfiguration / of the golf course operated by American Golf. Under the plan favored by the Mayor’s Committee, 18 holes would replace the current 27 in a “state of the art” layout: Many golfers objected to the loss of 9 holes, holes preferred by / many of the retirees playing in the park. Committee members also favored constructing a path that would allow Skinker DeBaliviere residents access by foot to the new passive space.
When a new golf course configuration finally is decided upon, it will affect American’s lease and, hence, the Board of Aldermen will have to take it up.
