Germantown Country Club Could Have a Change of Course

WKNO-FM

With more than 170 acres of rolling hills bordered by stately trees, the Germantown Country Club has been an exclusive oasis for golfers for decades. But with a declining membership and in financial straits, the club is scheduled to close next month

While some hope to find new management for the course, there is a high likelihood that the real estate will be sold for development. Commercial Appeal reporter Corinne Kennedy talks with us about the debate over growth in Germantown, and what types of homes might be built there.
