Golf course to give way to residential development

Pine Hills Golf Course will close and be sold for residential development.
Todd Perry, one of five owning partners, said his group will continue to own and operate Southern Pines’ 18-hole Calvert Crossing course and residential development in western Ouachita Parish.
Perry said a declining membership dictated the sale of Pine Hills to Fairbanks Development of Sterlington, which is owned by Kenneth Harper of West Monroe and Rockland Burks of Sterlington.
Harper said the deal stipulates he and Burks must close the course, but the partners are seeking entrepreneurs to reopen the pool and the fitness center and operate the clubhouse restaurant and tennis courts.
Sale price was not disclosed.
The Pine Hills property, which was built in 1974, encompasses 140 acres.
