This drainage ditch behind Bill Clark’s home will be filled in, and homes will be built on the defunct golf course on the other side of this water. Clark lives along the former Bonita Springs Golf and Country Club golf course in Bonita Springs that closed in 2006. Now he’s concerned that building plans will harm water flow and drainage.

The Bonita Springs Golf and Country Club closed in 2006. When residents purchased their homes, they believed they would always live beside a golf course. But the land is zoned for single family and multi-family homes and that is what is planned. Barron Collier is working with the city to create better water flow when they build.

Barbara Ogle and Jim Stoke bought this property in 1998. They paid a premium for land on a lake by a golf course. Now they are devastated about plans to fill in the lake and build houses right behind their abode.
