As part of a strategic plan to guide it into the future, the 99-year-old golf club has an arrangement to share the 9,200-square-foot indoor training facility with Butler University, which uses Highland as its home course.
Club directors chose to sell 12.5 acres to the Central Indiana Land Trust after considering an offer from a local developer who wanted to build homes on the property.
Homeowners who live just south of the golf club’s southern border fret about the future of the White River bluffs if Highland proceeds with controversial plans to sell 20 acres for residential development.
The country club on the northwest side foresees 46 houses on 25 acres and using money from the sale of the land to make crucial improvements to the private retreat.
