DESCRIPTION
New ownership acquired the Links at Stoney Point property in 2024 with visions of developing an entirely new identity for the property, its amenities and community. The original golf course was built back in 1990 by architect Tom Jackson along the shoreline of Lake Greenwood. JDR's plans involve the total reimagination of the golf experience while utilizing the original corridors. As stated by owner/partner Shane LeBaron, "I didn't want to go to a place where the bar has been set, I wanted to go to a place where we could set the bar." And from that point, all of the energies were focused on starting to realize the dream as fast as possible, i.e. "catching lightening in a bottle." To learn more about our process firsthand, we have produced a seven chapter documentary series titles, “Scenes From a Build”. These short but informative clips focus on the evolving efforts at Olde Eight.
Additional property has also been acquired for expansion of the residential neighborhood to include retail shops (general store), multiple clubhouses, dining opportunities, a lake club and health & wellness facilities. Along with the new golf course and neighboring amenities, the golf footprint is also being expanded to include a short (par-3) course, an expansive putting course and a world-class practice facility and teaching academy - all intended to be "uniquely Olde Eight." The golf course is expected to open for light play in fall of 2025 and the short course/academy are targeting fall of 2026.
