The bombshell arrived at Escondido Country Club area residents’ mailboxes on Saturday, February 23, in the form of a postcard announcing the demise of Escondido Country Club. The country club had been struggling for a few years.
Two years ago, the club opened the private course to the public in a effort to keep the course open and increase revenues. The result was a filing of Chapter 11 bankruptcy in California’s Southern Bankruptcy Court on May 31, 2012. After seven months in Chapter 11, the case was dismissed and on December 4, Stuck in the Rough, LLC, a West Hollywood corporation formed in November 2012 and headed by Michael Schlesinger, took possession of the club’s assets.
In an open letter to country-club area residents, “The new owner notified existing club members that after exhausting all possible solutions and after a great deal of contemplation, Escondido Country Club will unfortunately be forced to close. Commercial residential development of the land is currently being evaluated
On the evening of August 14, the Escondido City Council unanimously voted to approve a petition submitted by the grassroots organization ECCHO, the Escondido Country Club & Community Homeowners Organization. The 110-acre defunct Escondido Country Club golf course was immediately designated as open space and the 238-home development plan recently submitted by owner Michael Schlesinger cannot be built.
Schlesinger is suing the City of Escondido . The final fate of the Escondido Country Club is in court.
