The Issue

As an integral part of our community since 1916, The Woodlands Golf Course represents far more than just a recreational hub. Through its rich history, it has woven itself into the social and cultural fabric of Hampton. Today, it is under threat due to recommendations that are based on questionable judgement and inadequate research, which spurred a proposal to enhance The Hamptons Golf Course at the expense of our beloved Woodlands. To protect our local heritage, it's time to rally together and oppose the closure of The Woodlands Golf Course.

The argument for shutting it down is based on singular, biased reviews that overlook several essential factors. The Woodlands Golf Course's significant contribution to community well-being and camaraderie is seemingly dismissed, as is the broader economic impact it adds to our town. It provides both direct and indirect employment and encourages tourist influx, thereby contributing to our local economy.

We believe that there are alternative solutions that can tackle the alleged issues without having to close down a course so dear to us all. We hope the City of Hampton would agree to reassess their decision, taking into account the full range of impacts and exploring other correction paths.

In preserving The Woodlands Golf Course, we are preserving a part of our shared heritage, an institution that brings joy and fosters local unity. Sign this petition and stand against this hasty proposal. Together, let's continue the century-old legacy of The Woodlands Golf Course.
