Does anyone have more info on possible new course to be located
in Sterling/Lancaster? It was in the Worcester Telegram back in
February that a Stow Acres owner and another person were attempting
to purchase a large tract of land (near the Duck Farm in Sterling)
for the purpose of a municipal golf course. But not much more has
been said than that since.
Any info appreciated.

All the P&S agreements have been signed with projected ground
breaking in the late summer or early fall. The lease on the
Duck Farm matures on July 1st. The farm is suppose to be razed
in the summer.
The current plans has the COuntry club on top of a hill that
overlooks Mt. Watchusett. The course itself is suppose to be
a par 72 championship course. One hole is plus 600 yards.
13 holes are located in Sterling and 5 in Lancaster.
THe last I heard was that 9 holes will be open next year.
The remaining 9 the year after. THey're suppose to import
all the sod from North Carolina so make certain for a 1990
opening.
The last bit of news is not good; all of this may be postponed
depending on what happens with the prime rate.

I guess this is still being debated but the last I heard was
semi-private.

Plans for the Sterling CC & golf course are final. I guess there
were some major problems back in the early summer months, like
the whole deal was off, but the developers restructured the plan
and are just a month away from ground breaking.
It appears that they 'downsized' the course abit and delayed
the opening to mid 1991. I certainly don't see how they
could pull a 1990 opening at this late date. But, at least,
they're going through with it.
The club will be semi-private. I think they're actively looking
for new members. I'm not sure what the membership fee will be or
what it includes but I plan to attend a meeting which will
discuss all the facts. I'll post more info when I get it.
The meeting is open to the public. It'll be held next Tuesday,
the 19th at 8 PM at the Leominster Sheraton Hotel. Bob Lobel will
be master of ceremonies.
