Salt lake City had rented from the air-port authority the land on which sits Wingpointe Golf Club. The airport had rented the land to the city for $1 a year. The FAA audited the deal in 2012 and determined the land needed to earn an income closer to fair market value, which they determined to be $500,000. They offered the property to the city for about $65,000 a year. The city declined the offer. The course closed November 2015 in preparation of the property turnover / return to the air-port authority at the end of 2015.
