HOLE-IN-ONE FOR WESTFIELD: CITY PURCHASES WOOD WIND GOLF CLUB The City of Westfield, through the Downtown Westfield Community Development Corporation (DWCDC), purchased Wood Wind Golf Club, making it the city’s first municipal-owned golf course. The 147-acre championship golf course was initially developed in 1990 and has seen significant improvements over the years, including the relocation, redesign, and redevelopment of numerous holes. “There has been much speculation over the years about whether Wood Wind would remain a golf course with the residential development that has popped up,” stated Mayor Scott Willis. “Since my first day in office, the new owner has pitched ideas to develop the course into a high-density housing development. The city purchasing the course ensures that it will remain a community asset for decades to come and that the open green space the area offers will be preserved.” The DWCDC purchased the course for $3.1 million from Westfield Golf Club, LLC. This purchase includes all buildings on the grounds, the clubhouse and party pavilion, and site amenities, including two pickleball courts, golf carts, maintenance equipment, and furnishings. The pavilion can accommodate up to 150 people for special events. To learn more about why this investment was necessary, please scan the QR code below.
