Lumby officials are trying to keep a sports tradition on course.
Mayor Kevin Acton says the village is looking at ways to ensure the Lumby Golf Club, which is a non-profit group, remains viable.
“We are working at trying to get water up to them,” he said.
“They need water for septic and they need mowers. It’s a beautiful spot and really could be something.”
The club, which has been around since 1961, leases the 39-acre property from the village for $1 a year. The course consists of nine holes and sand greens and green fees are $10 a day.
“They need a helping hand, a little seed money,” said Acton, who believes the golf course is an amenity that can help draw residents and tourists to Lumby.
“It’s a possible economic benefit, an attraction.”
