I am very much in support of the planning of a new golf course. I now have family in the area and adore the current golf attractions and all they bring. Not only for the sport but for the sense of community and opportunity they bring. I visit the area regularly throughout the year and it is somewhere I consider settling down and starting a family in. Not only would a world class course attract new job opportunities but it would increase the sense of community.

Of course the environmental impact is an understandable concern that I have no doubt is a concern to all the people supporting the planning. With careful planning and consideration the impact will inevitably be lowered. I strongly feel that this planning debate is a no brainer and countless people will benefit in numerous ways.
