InverRARY Golf Course redevelopment (888 units)
Summary
The 1971 covenants restricted the Inverrary golf course to recreation in perpetuity, but a window is open to amend them with 75% of property owners' consent. The developer's plan would add residential development while keeping and restoring a golf course, with residents negotiating community ownership of the clubhouse and amenities.

Impact analysis
Residents were told the developer will cover golf course operating shortfalls including taxes for the first profitable year, but one speaker warned the land transfer could add up to $1.7 million in tax liability for the association.
Inverrary residents gain community ownership of the golf course, clubhouse and amenities, plus a neighborhood revival instead of potential large-scale development under the Live Local Act.
Residents of the 32 associations could face shared tax liability on the land transfer if mitigation efforts fall short, per one commenter's warning.

City Commission Meeting — September 14, 2026
A first reading passed 3-2 to create a CDD for Pulte's new Inverrary residential development, letting the district bond for infrastructure at an estimated $1,100 per lot per year for 30 years — on top of HOA fees — with statutory disclosures to buyers. Existing Inverrary residents and the golf course/clubhouse are excluded.
City Commission Meeting — August 31, 2026
The clubhouse rezone passed final reading. Residents pressed about whether the course will truly be championship-level, the fairness of the HOA covenant vote, and whether a hotel could someday be added — which would require a future code amendment.
City Commission Meeting — June 29, 2026
The commission advanced rezoning ~132 acres of the shuttered golf course for up to 888 for-sale homes, a greenway and parks. It only takes effect if the community's covenant vote succeeds — voting is over 60% affirmative with about two weeks remaining. Vice Mayor Campbell pushed back on delays, saying the city should lead.
Special City Commission Meeting — May 27, 2026
The land use change for part of the InverRARY golf course cleared its final local vote, but the rezoning ordinances that set the actual rules were tabled to June 8. Residents will see traffic studies, the fate of the golf course, and a new development agreement come back before future votes.
