Oak Mallett Golf Club has been sold, according to Mike Mallett, who co-owned the course with his wife Anne.
New owner Levi Wittenmyer won’t use the 50-plus acre parcel as a golf course. The golf course’s Facebook page says the golf course will likely be farmed.
“We bought it in 1997 and the first five years it was gangbusters. We did great,” Mallett said. “The last 10 years were a struggle. We probably lost $350,000 during that time.
Mallett tried everything to make a go of it the last couple of years. The course even dropped its rates to $5 per 9-hole round but even that couldn’t turn things around.
“I think the high-end courses are still doing fairly well. It’s the small courses where it’s toughest,” Mallett said. “Even if we didn’t sell, we weren’t probably going to open this year, it would have been cheaper not to.”
Mallett bought the course for $350,000 from Ken and Jane Parish, according to records on the Hancock County Auditor’s website.

Big WASTE of my money and time!!! I don't think they have ever use any chemicals on the grass; I could hardly find my ball because there was so much clover and dandilions on the course. Couldn't even hardly get a tee in the ground because it was so hard and cracked. Not sure if management knows what they're doing. It also has very limited parking.
