Default Palmer Legends Country Club sold?

Is this true?

Are the new owners experienced and good management?

Apologies if this was covered elsewhere .

New owner took over Tuesday. Had meeting with employees and said wages the same and pricing the same for now.

If it was sold, I can't seem to find anything much about it, other than the supposed "owner" spent some time in jail a couple of years ago.

I believe the newspaper article was referring to the restaurant "owner", which appears to belong to LEGENDS PARTNERSHIP, LLC, with Chad Strausbaugh listed as the Manager of the LLC. (Chad plays out of Golden Ocala and is an interesting guy, if you care to do some Google searching.)

I think the course itself belongs to the Villages Holding Co. I've often thought that club would be a great course to turn into a Private Country Club, but told by someone who should know, the Holding Company would never sell it.

More bad news.

Apparently the Suleiman operation has bought it. There goes the neighborhood.

Big sigh of relief, it’s the restaurant that was sold, not the golf : ) I’m sure that matters to some, but no big deal here. If it was the golf course, another story all together. That would represent a seismic shift in the entire Championship golf model for the entire Villages.

They have by far the best restaurants here in TV. Not sure where you eat but Prima, Anglers and Lopez are all good so this is actually good news if true.

That's what I read, but I hope you're right. Palmer has always done a good job with the restaurant in my opinion. The Suleiman's run schlock houses. Worse than FMK.

Now even Palmer's will serving the fake turkey for Thanksgiving.

The building et al at Arnold Palmer are still OWNED by the developer. People can contract to run restaurants here, usually for five years. Someone else is now running it. We will see how they do.

I just received an email and Palmer Legends Joins Our Family from the Sulieman family has purchased this restaurant with a grand opening in late January.
