Lennar’s Escena project has closed its golf course in Palm Springs, a Palm Springs City Councilman said today. Councilman Mike McCulloch said today that Lennar has stopped seeding the golf course, but is continuing to water it. McCulloch said this will allow Lennar to open the course again at a later date. He said the market is too slow for Lennar to keep its project open. Lennar has also stopped production of homes in the Escena project. read more

Albuquerque Scholar on the History of the Hotel — in Slate. SHENZHEN, China — Colin Montgomerie and Marc Warren gave Scotland its first victory in the World Cup of Golf, defeating Americans Boo Weekley and Heath Slocum with a par on the third hole of a playoff in southern China. The victory Sunday at the Mission Hills Golf Club made up for Scotland’s loss last year in Barbados on the first hole of a playoff with Germany’s Bernhard Langer and Marcel Siem. Montgomerie’s tap-in for par on the third extra hole was good enough for the Scots when Weekley missed a 15-foot attempt to save par.
