Full Answer
West End Golf Club in Newberry, Fla. opened in 1969 and has been a fixture in the golf community, but closed its doors in December, The Gainesville Sun reported. The par-60, lighted course has been for sale for more than a year, but finally closed as it became unplayable.
West End appealed to golfers who were just starting and to senior citizens because—as an executive course—it was not a long course (only 3,940 yards compared to normal courses that are more than 6,000 yards), The Sun reported.
Without the finances coming in, it’s almost impossible to keep pouring money into a golf course, The Sun reported. Today, the greens are full of weeds and patches of dirt.
