The former Salt Creek Golf Course in Chula Vista has been abandoned for more than five years, and viewers have reached out to CBS 8 wondering what’s next for the prime piece of real estate. “It was beautiful, it was a links course, it was very difficult, it was very popular. It was really, really a prime course,” said Brendan Ward, a homeowner in the adjacent Rolling Hills Ranch neighborhood, as he reminisced about the old course in its heyday. “They had a restaurant up there, snack bar, they had a golf shop. There’s lots of people that went up there,” said Ward. CBS 8 called the County Recorder’s Office and they told us the land, comprised of 270 acres, is owned by the Otay Water District. The golf club was operated by Highland Links Golf Group, LLC, which leased 239 acres of the property from the water district beginning in March 2012, but the course was losing money and shut down in March 2018. At the time, Highland Links Golf Group, LLC, cited “the rising costs of water and fewer golfers” as reasons for the closure. According to Otay Water District board of directors meeting minutes from May 2, 2018, “The district reduced its rent for the golf course property to $6,000 per month,” but the course was still unprofitable.
