For the second time in a year, Don Brown has acquired a struggling golf course in South Carolina.
Last September, Brown and his wife purchased Bishopville Country Club in Bishopville. This summer, he and two partners bought Oakdale Country Club, a 51-year-old property in Florence that will receive a makeover and a new name, The Palms Course at Oakdale.
“By the time we get through with everything we’re going to do,” Brown told the Florence Morning News, “I think this course and club will be as good as any in the area.”
The new owners hope to debut a revitalized Oakdale sometime next summer.
