Myrtle Beach losing nearly a golf course a month

From the Myrtle Beach Sun Times:

Developers have submitted plans to redevelop the entire 18 holes of Crown Park Golf Club in Longs with single-family and multifamily homes.

If the rezoning to a planned development district is approved, the golf course would become the 18th since January 2005 to be closed for development or proposed redevelopment on the Grand Strand. It would be the newest to close, having opened in 2001.

The proposed plan calls for 414 single-family homes and 244 multifamily homes on the 191 acres, said Lou Conklin, land planner with Castles Engineering, who’s working for the developer, Lexon Homes.

The entire 18 holes will eventually go away under the plan.

Crown Park Golf Course was designed by Robbie Byers.
