It was August of 2018 when the announcement was made that the Gray Eagle Golf Course in Fishers would close. It did not close as was scheduled, but the future of the course has been uncertain.
Fishers city officials announced Tuesday the Gray Eagle Golf Course will remain open with an age-targeted 55-years-of-age-and-older multi-family development south of the Gray Eagle Clubhouse. The plan includes upgrades to the Clubhouse and improvements to the Golf Course, while also preserving the current greenspace.
The city says these improvements will not impact Gray Eagle Homeowners Association dues.
The agreement was reached by the city of Fishers, the Gray Eagle Homeowners Association, and JC Hart.
“We’ve been in discussions for over two years to ensure the long-term sustainability of this area, including preservation of the golf club, and I believe this is a viable solution to achieve that goal,” said Fishers Mayor Scott Fadness in a city news release.
A land rezoning will be required and an economic development component will be a part of this planned development. The city said in the release only that the economic development part of the plan “is anticipated to be presented to the City Council in the near future.”
