It has been a long, frustrating wait for residents living adjacent to Union Hills Country Club, but the facility is under new ownership and upgrades are planned.
David Ashton and Jeffrey Lundgren of Swing First Golf bought the country club, 9860 W. Lindgren Ave., with the transfer becoming official June 15. They are no strangers to northwest Valley golf facilities. They also own Palmbrook Country Club, 9350 W. Greenway Road, Sun City, and Coyote Lakes Golf Club, 18800 N. Coyote Lakes Parkway in Surprise. They also own the Golf Club at Johnson Ranch, 30761 W. Golf Club Drive, San Tan Valley.
Under the previous owner, Landmark of Arizona, many residents contended the Union Hills property deteriorated over the years. Many Sun City residents, including those not living adjacent to the property, considered it an eyesore. Ashton and Lundgren want to change that.
