I think highplainsdrifter can indeed add a lot to the conversation that has heretofore been only conjecture and speculation. At least I don't recall hearing from anyone with his credentials in all the posts to date. I'm eager to get his ... Read More

Yes, many golf courses close because their cash flow can't meet the large expenses of maintenance. Too many courses have been built over the years to tap what some believed was a bottomless well of interest and enthusiasm. However, without ... Read More

OK, I have to get back into the discussion. I've stayed out of it for so long because I felt I was becoming a bit too negative........however......several excellent points have been made regarding the golf course and I have to say, it's ALL ... Read More

We either gripe that oil is too expensive or not expensive enough! Really?? Which way is it, folks? I understand the implications of high and low prices, but the overall effect of lower prices is positive for most consumers, who are the real ... Read More

Yulrun, you go guy! What a dynamo! Great input. You probably had the best term papers in school. I can see a trip to Bahia in my future and maybe by then they'll be further along with the project. But even if you're right about the ... Read More

Have to add my kudos to yulrun for the report. Very informative and uplifting. You say you're considering making an investment, but it would be nice to hear from some of the people with "skin in the game". Any way you might induce a ... Read More

Corey, your post is the most recent in this thread so I elected to respond to you. I have a great desire to live by the ocean on a great golf course and play as much as possible, so clearly my antennae have been focused on Las Olas for some time. ... Read More

Like many responders here, I hope everything goes well for the developers, investors and home owners. Wish nothing but the best for everyone. BUT, I agree that this project carries the weight of way too many unknowns right now to warrant a large ... Read More
