URGENT COMMUNITY CALL-OUT: Volunteers Needed for Golf Course Legal Workgroup

Dear Neighbors,

As you know, our community’s seven historic golf courses—the very heart of our neighborhood’s design, common scheme, green spaces, and stormwater infrastructure since 1961—are under threat. ClubLink is currently planning projects to exploit a loophole on the RSC-6 zoned parcel, the North Lakes Course, claiming they have “entitled residential rights” to build high-density housing over the green space. They could also be considering any of the other 4 closed courses that are PU or part of the Planned Development Unit.

We are preparing and fighting and will diligently resist any attempt to develop or destroy our community; we intend to prevail.

Our SaveSCC team has been researching, outlining and building a powerful, two-pronged legal strategy to defeat their claims and protect all seven courses. To execute this formally and seek cost estimates for professional services to pursue these strategies, we are officially forming a Community Legal Workgroup. We need specialized resident expertise to help us flesh out our case in more detail before we engage attorneys, spend significant money and head to court or hearings.

I really do not want to share too much about our plans as we do not want to telegraph our strategy to ClubLink but this will be shared on a limited basis in the core group. 

Our Two-Pronged Legal Strategy

1.The Zoning & Infrastructure Battle (Public Compliance and Public Hearing in Quasi-judicial Proceeding)(Reactive based on when ClubLink files their application for permits):

We will weaponize all regulations that support the protection and preservation of the golf courses. ClubLink or their development partner cannot build houses with permits, and if doing so,  destroys our planned development, the neighborhood’s character, the neighborhood’s drainage and stormwater management system, violates the Greater Sun City Community Plan, and/or creates a catastrophic flood nuisance for existing homes.

2. The Court Battle (Proactive and preemptive based on assessment of success, costs, and readiness to undertake):

We are evaluating a court filing for a permanent injunction. We will seek to prove that the developers intentionally built these courses as a unified community centerpiece, induced us to buy here at a premium, and cannot legally strip this infrastructure away.

 Join the Workgroup: Specific Roles Needed

 We are looking for residents from both Sun City Center and Kings Point with professional backgrounds or strong skills in the following areas to join existing our core action team:

• •  Legal Researchers & Analysts:

Attorneys (active or retired), paralegals, zoning professionals, land use experts, or those with experience in property law, contracts, or municipal zoning. You will help review original 1960s deeds, master plan declarations, developer and community understandings, suits, agreements, and chain-of-title documents.

• •  Historians & Document Archivists:

Detail-oriented neighbors to hunt down, catalog, and digitize original marketing brochures, sales maps, newspaper ads, and developer blueprints spanning 1961 to 2005. This is critical to proving “buyer inducement.”

• •  Civil Engineers, Hydrologists, & Environmental Specialists:

Professionals who understand stormwater management, drainage blueprints, grading permits, and runoff systems. We need to prove the devastating physical impact that building on these courses will cause.

• •  Project Managers & Coordinators:

Highly organized individuals to keep our legal timelines on track, coordinate meetings, and manage communication between the workgroup, the HOA, and outside counsel.

How to Apply / Next Steps

If you have the skills, the professional background, or simply the time and dedication to fight for our neighborhood’s future, please step forward.  Our deadline to sign up is June 5, 2026. We need you!

Please share this call-out with any neighbors who may have these skills but are not receiving our emails or aren’t active online.

United, we have the law, the infrastructure, and the truth on our side. Let’s protect our community.

 We can’t do this without you!

 As a side note, if we elect to seriously consider pursuing action in the courts, this will be an expensive undertaking, require raising significant money for legal expenses and could be a long, drawn out process. Our adversary has deep pockets and time on their side.  We will have to be prepared with money in the bank. Part of the team’s due diligence efforts will be to establish the estimates associated with the undertaking to determine if it is feasible or practical.  You will hear more about this later.

Sincerely,
Ellie Anderson
