That means the odds of Salt Lake City’s defunct Wingpointe golf course ever pitching out of an expensive bureaucratic bunker are as slim as a hole-in-one. On a Par 5.
The course has been closed since 2015 and has not been adequately maintained, despite more than $60,000 set aside last year to do just that. The City Council Tuesday said it was time to stop paying for a course that, in all likelihood, will never see a foursome again. It authorized a budget transfer to cover a final payment on a lease this year, but no more.
“I think it’s extremely unfortunate,” said Councilman Charlie Luke, the council’s vice chairman, who earlier supported efforts to keep golfers’ hopes alive for the course.
