September 25, 2018- Despite an ongoing membership drive, Hawks Point Golf Course owner Andy Page is closing the golf course in Vidalia.

In late summer, Page closed the course but later reopened it to see if more members would join. A membership drive attracted the most members the course has ever had, according to manager Paul Claxton.

"We're in a better position financially now than it's ever been since he's owned it.  We have more members here now than we've ever had since he's owned it.  I'm very surprised he's taking this course of action considering the positive response out of the community.  We added 50 new members and I feel it's not the right thing to do, but I don't own the facility and it was his decision solely.  He wants out of the golf business," Claxton said.

Page informed Claxton late Sunday that the course would close Friday, September 29.
