Sun Dance Golf Course, a staple of the Nine Mile Falls community for more than 55 years, announced it will shutter Sept. 30 to make way for something new – possibly, a future housing development.
Ken Johnston and his wife, Peggy Jones, purchased the golf course in 1977. When Johnston died in 1997, Peggy and her children took over ownership of the property. Jones sold the property – which includes a driving range, pro shop and a restaurant – to developer Brad West in 2017 for $1.7 million, according to Spokane County Assessor’s records.
