The Greenview Country Club in Centralia has new owners.<\/p>\n
A group headed by Roger and Kristy Campbell have purchased the club from Steve Whritenour who first listed it for sale three and a half years ago.<\/p>\n
\u201cI know the rumors went around about solar farms and transitioning this to something outside of a golf course,\u201d Whritenour said. \u201cI could never swallow enough pride to do something like that, because I wanted Greenview to remain a golf course. That was my goal all along.\u201d<\/p>\n
Whritenour is also pleased that the club will remain in local hands.\u00a0 He notes text messages have been underway with Roger Campbell for quite some time, they finally ironed out an agreement on September 18th.\u00a0 The sale is expected to close on Friday.<\/p>\n
With the sale being finalized, the Campbells have had a crew of eight already getting rid of downed trees and making improvements to the cart paths the past three weeks.\u00a0 Lifelong golfer and Greenview player Kristy Campbell promises more improvements are on the way.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re going to keep all the leagues the same and hope we get more people in them,\u201d Campbell said. \u201cA couple\u2019s league is kind of up in the air. If people have interest in it, we\u2019ll look towards it. We want to push big for juniors. I want sixth, seventh and eighth graders playing out here\u2026 that we\u2019re really going to push for. If those kids play golf and their parents don\u2019t where they would have to play, they can play all year for $100, because I want the young ones playing. We\u2019re going to have a junior tournament. We do have a general manager coming in. I don\u2019t know if he\u2019ll be in January 1, but you\u2019ll all recognize him. I think everyone will be pleased with him. We\u2019re interviewing superintendents\u2026 right now we\u2019re just clearing anything dead we can clear.\u201d<\/p>\n
Campbell is encouraging members and those who play the golf course to make suggestions for improvements.<\/p>\n
The Campbell\u2019s say realizing the economy is not great, they will allow memberships to be paid monthly with no interest charge.\u00a0 Several discounted packages are available through the end of the year.\u00a0 There will be a $25 fee to play during the winter months up to March 31st.\u00a0 Current memberships will be honored through the end of the year.<\/p>\n
Campbell says a pro-shop and snack shop are planned in the current event building.\u00a0 She hopes they are able to find someone to lease and operate the main restaurant.<\/p>\n
Whritenour bought the golf course in December 2014 from Senior Pro Tom Wargo.\u00a0 He has lots of good memories and is thankful to all the loyal supporters of the golf course.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Greenview Country Club in Centralia has new owners.
