Another golf course in the center of Okanagan is under new management.

The latest change of ownership is the Two Eagles Golf Course and Academy.

The golf course, which has been owned by Ron Derrickson for several years, has been leased to K West Homes.

The course opened as Vintage Hills before the name was changed after Derrickson bought it.

Since the lease became known, rumors have been circulating in the club that the space for a housing estate is to be refurbished.

Kevin Bird, founder and president of K West Homes, told Castanet News that it was not.

“We only run one golf course and that’s it,” said Bird.

While there may be some operational changes, Bird says the property will remain a golf course.

He confirms that the five-year contract provides for this.

K West Homes took over the running of the course on April 1st.

It was announced last week that the Michaelbrook Ranch Golf Course had been sold to local buyers under the direction of Nadean Ostrom.

The cost of either transaction was not disclosed.
