The family-owned business is under contract for sale to new owners, who told a Eureka alderman that they hope to re-open sometime in June.
After months of uncertainty, the fate of country club at the Legends is looking more secure with news that the currently shuttered business is under contract for sale to new owners. Eureka Alderman Don Beckerle lives in the Legends and informed the city’s board of aldermen about the pending sale at a meeting Tuesday night. According to Beckerle, the new owners are a joint venture among three partners that have a background in the golf business. “We are excited that they have come to an agreement,” he said.
