Brett Melton, owner of Country Club of Old Vincennes purchased the Vincennes Golf Club in December 2013. He will close the golf course and sell the land for real estate development. He described the purchase as a way to secure the future of the Country Club of Old Vincennes. There were not enough golfers to support two courses in close proximity. Eliminating one helps makes the other profitable.
