If the lots in Continental CC are individually owned, purchasing would become very difficult.

What property was split by the Brownwood bridge??? Continental CC is miles from Brownwood. There are some trailers to the left of the southern exit of the bridge, but nothing was split. If the reference should have been to the Chitty Chatty bridge, then Continental is on the other side of Morse, again, nothing was split to my knowledge.

Yes, we live Paulie's Oaks. Plus great karaoke there in the very nice bar area 4-7 on Saturdays.

I would guess they tried. There is probably also something in the lot’s deed, the association’s bylaws that makes its difficult

I would hate to see that as the course is kept in excellent condition by current management and would most likely go down hill if bought by TV.

Seems that if TV residents could have full access to that property that it would add some golf options and many more miles of golf cart paths to venture on including potential access to the new Walmart being built.
Each resident owns their property. It would be a difficult transaction.

"Would the developer ever buy Continental Country Club?"

Read the question and you have the answer.....

The DEVELOPER develops land, the land is already developed.

You took the words out of my mouth. The developer is just that. They make money when they aquire land, build a house, and you buy it. At that point, you now own the land, pay taxes to the governing body, and the developers responsibility ends. They only make additional money through your continued use of a "developer owned" property such as championship golf course and commercial business through rent.

So in the case of Continental, they could only make money if they removed the mobile homes and built houses that were then put up for sale. And that would be a slow process and wouldn't be very profitable compared to their building new houses on all the land they already have acquired. Remember, the developer is just that, they develop new communities on land they have acquired, sell those houses, and move on.

Have eaten at their restaurant. Not that good. Why the heck would the developers want to buy that? It looks like the developers of TV know what they are doing so far.

Default Continental's value

Its a nice course, but its most valuable asset is the fact that Mickey Mantle once lived there.

If you would have been here before 2007 - 2009 you would know the answer!
