A Property Battle Pitting Two Giants
New York Times:
Deepdale, just north of the Long Island Expressway at the western edge of the village, is ranked 36th in Golf Connoisseur magazine's latest list of America's "100 Most Prestigious Golf Clubs." Over the years it has counted President Dwight D. Eisenhower and the Duke of Windsor as members, and more recently Michael R. Bloomberg, Tom Brokaw and Sean Connery.Now, the village and the club are entwined in a battle of Goliath against Goliath.
The village recently took some steps to prepare for condemning the club under eminent-domain laws, so that it can convert it into a public course. (Only a little bit public, though: it would probably be restricted to village residents.)
