The Detroit News recently reported that Salem Hills Golf Course west of Northville found a buyer and will remain a golf course after the long-time owners, Frank and Veronica Godwin, announced in September they would retire and close the course down. Salem Hills has served the golfing public since 1963.
It was not due to Covid-19; in fact, Salem Hills experienced a very positive financial 2020, as did many local golf courses in Michigan last year.
After that announcement, which we published in a prior magazine, several potential suitors came in and one made a deal to purchase the land and keep it operating as a golf course. At time of deadline, the new owner’s name or exact plans were not revealed, pending a period of due diligence.
