Turtle Creek Golf Club in Rockledge this week announced that it will be permanently closing its doors later this year after 52 years in business.
While no reason was given in the course’s official statement for the closure, city records show a 294-home subdivision is planned for the site.
The area is undergoing a development boom.
Turtle Creek’s last day in business scheduled for May 31.
“The golf course has run for many years with the help of so many dedicated customers, friends and family from around the world along our journey together,” course owners said in a written announcement of the closure. “Before we pull the flags one last time, we hope that all of you get a chance to come play and enjoy the course at least once more. The management and all the staff will work hard until the very last day to make sure this is a course that players will remember fondly until the end,” the statement reads.
Turtle Creek’s site tucked away on the south side of Barnes Boulevard will be the future home of a subdivision of 294 homes. The 118-acre site is slated to be transformed into a single-family neighborhood and has already been approved by the city of Rockledge and is in the preliminary planning phases.
Justin Horton, a manager at Turtle Creek, said many people have expressed disappointment with the fact that the Rockledge staple will be closing after so long.
“It’s been ongoing behind the scenes for a couple years now,” Horton said. “It’s the way of the world. All good things unfortunately come to an end. The owner has put in a lot of time and effort and he’d like to retire. This is him making the most out of it.”
