Update on AVGC Escrow
As many of you have read, Auburn Valley Golf Club is in escrow for sale of the property. This has not changed- Auburn Valley is still expected to change ownership. However, the expected closing date of escrow has been adjusted from mid-December to mid-January.
Many great ideas and updates intend to be implemented by new ownership and our management team is extremely excited about all these plans. We will keep you updated as time moves forward, and look forward to your continued support of the Auburn Valley Golf Club!
