Brightside Farm - Golf Course Plan

Private Golf Course: John Panizza, President of General Residential Properties Inc., began by explaining that his company currently owns the 94 acre "Deerfield" tract across the street from the Brightside Farm and Township's 20.6 acre site. He proposed to purchase the 55 acres from the School District, and combine them with his existing 94 acres to design an 18 hole championship golf course. Twelve to fifteen condominium style homes would be developed in three dwelling groups on the combined tracts. They would be hidden by slopes in order to protect the viewshed. Three to four acres would be set aside for the Township's use, possibly for a community garden. A donation to the Open Space Fund would be provided with no restrictions on its use. A golf course would require no funding from the Township and would remain in the tax base without adding to the student count at the Great Valley School District.
