Re: Forest Lake Golf Club update
Dear Mayor and Commissioners:
At the February 4, 2025 City Commission Meeting, the City Attorney and City Staff will
update the City Commission on the status of Forest Lake Golf Club, located at 10521 Clarcona
Ocoee Road, regarding the City's investigation and the current condition of the premises and its
various buildings and fixtures, as well as the course itself and the infrastructure supporting it. The
City Attorney and City Staff will look to the City Commission for direction.
The City Staff has been in communication with Forest Lake’s principals, and the City
Attorney’s office has continued to work with Forest Lake’s counsel and the City’s various experts
to determine whether the issues identified in the City’s Notices of Default to Forest Lake have
been cured. City Staff and the City Attorney will update the City Commission as to the most current
findings, present options moving forward, and request guidance from the Commission as to how
to proceed.
Very truly yours,
/s/ A. Kurt Ardaman
