Enviros File Hail Mary Suit To Shutter MacKenzie's Sharp Park

This is good news for golfers and ultimately, the entire facility and environment as the desperation move by the extremists at the Center For Biological Diversity speaks to the state of their case to get the Alister MacKenzie course shut down.

The suit can be viewed here. And the reply from the SF Public Golf Alliance fighting to save the course as well as the natural habitats.

The lawsuit makes the same claims that Center for Biological Diversity and its allies have
been making for the past two and a half years in their unsuccessful efforts to close Sharp Park Golf Course.

We think that the plaintiffs' claims are narrow and unreasonable, and do not recognize the legitimate interests of golfers, historic preservationists, local businesses, and governmental entities in San Francisco, Pacifica, and San Mateo County that want to keep Sharp Park Golf Course open. 
 
San Francisco's Recreation and Park Department has adopted and is following an Environmental Compliance Plan at Sharp Park.

San Francisco retained the preeminent consulting biologists to develop a plan to protect
the frog and snake at Sharp Park.  In December, 2009, the Department adopted a plan to improve natural habitat, while keeping the golf course open.  That plan is undergoing environmental review as we speak, but the issues are complex, and environmental review takes time.  The final Environmental Impact Report is not expected to be complete before late 2011.
