In order to help the City, its residents, and other stakeholders develop a better understanding of the former golf course properties, ULI was asked to determine the best potential future uses for the sites that are most consistent with abutting properties and will contribute to the long-term vitality of the area and the City.

In order to guide the City, residents, and stakeholders into informed conversations about the future of the golf courses, the panel put together and provided four hypothetical future scenarios for the properties:

• Scenario 1: Municipal Golf Complex
  Retains and re-establishes the three courses through a City purchase of the properties and establishment of a municipal golf complex
• Scenario 2: 100% Network of Public Parks
  Converts the 350 acres of former golf courses to a network of public parks through a City purchase of the properties
• Scenario 3: 70% Public Park
  Retains 70% of the current space (roughly 250 acres) for municipal parks and introduces small-scale mixed-use / residential development on 30% of the space
• Scenario 4: 30% Public Park
  Retains 30% of the current space (roughly 100 acres) for municipal parks and introduces mixed-use or residential development on 70% of the space

The panel also provided suggestions for building a healthy community, recommendations for finding funding assistance, and some final thoughts to guide the community as it considers the future of properties and the role that they could play in transforming the future of Lauderhill.
