SAN ANTONIO – The owners of Woodlake Golf Club on the northeast side confirmed to News 4 a potential buyer has joined the fight to save the historic greens.

Earlier this year, the current owners filed for bankruptcy and submitted a business plan to the court in hopes of keeping the course open.

The owners said Friday the court proceedings are on hold because someone is interested in buying the club. They’re not sure who, but say they’ve been fielding interest all summer from potential buyers.

Either way, owner John Clay says he hopes to have a deal ironed out by the end of the month that would keep players on the links.

Woodlake has a PGA pedigree: it hosted several Texas Opens back in the 1970s, and the owners have said they don’t want the course to shut down like its contemporary on the south side, Pecan Valley Golf Club.

Woodlake was once a Christian community. However, it was doomed from the start due to it's proximity to Converse, which is right down the road and can easily be identified by the speed traps if the city limits signs are missed. The die was cast when the Sunrise subdivision was opened up across Foster Road. Special methods were used to make sure only the Devil's people were allowed to move into Sunrise and they are still there, shooting and cutting up each other and passers by. The gangs of criminals in Sunrise immediately began to prey on the Christians and they moved out. Now, the area is a bleak wasteland. If someone wants to buy that golf course and they have the money, they are probably from out of town and if they are locals, they would have to be drug dealers or bank robbers, which are plentiful in the area.
