Here are some update photos of the clubhouse! I hope all the new comers will be able to experience an up an operational club house (and eventually golf course) – I believe it will be great for the community and bring exposure to this Hawaiian gem! With so many empty lots and with all the baby boomers looking to find a place to call “home”, it sure would be a huge bonus to our local economy if some of them would choose to relocate to DH.

With the local residents passing on leasing out the club house at South Point Country Club it seems that SPIG (the owners of the golf course) are moving forward and are in negotiations with potential restaurateurs to lease out the clubhouse. There is a current laundry list of things that are getting done in preparation for said lease (which include: electrical work, cesspool, new entry door, roof work, interior work, rock wall work, etc). Should be interesting to watch the process and can’t wait to see a great local restaurant!

It appears that a group of residents (Sharon & Marv) is in the negotiating stage with the owners of the golf course (SPIG) in order to rent out the golf course. Although an earlier attempt to lease out the golf course AND clubhouse failed – some of the residents are pressing on.
As part of the lease agreement, the local residents must form an LLC and obtain insurance. It seems that simply having the golf course mowed (a much appreciated thing for many of the residents who’s property is adjacent to the golf course) is their objective. Being that this is a “low budget” operation and that the course will not be allowed to be opened to the public unless certain playing condition standards are met, I’m guessing that local residents will have to pony up the monies needed.
So for now, it doesn’t look like anytime in the near future non-LLC members will be able to LEGALLY play the golf course. Of course, there are always those who prefer to illegally trespass and play anyway (an unfortunate shameful and ill-repute act – likened to steeling vegetables out of your neighbors garden) but all the residents of Discovery Harbour would stand to benefit from a mowed golf course – I’m sure residents everywhere would enjoy a well manicured neighbor’s property.. or for those unscrupulous individuals – you can to take the advice from Hawaii-Kau.com and you can trespass and “steal” the fruits of your neighbor’s hard work (advice which I do not condone).

Any comments would be appreciated here as well. Thanks!

Had a meeting last night for a little over an hour and a half. Things went well. We anticipate getting feedback on the lease and preparing to meet with SPIG.

Here are just some examples of some of the volunteer work that is being done on the South Point Country Club golf course at Discovery Harbour. Way to go crew!!
