A group of people who live across the street from Bobby Jones golf course are suing its developer, claiming it’s ignoring city rules.
The Bobby Jones Golf Course Foundation, which has a 50-year lease from the state of Georgia, is redesigning the Buckhead course and building new facilities.
Some neighbors of the course are unhappy with the hundreds of trees that have been cut down and with the plans for a maintenance building on Northside Drive and a cell phone tower.
In a lawsuit filed in Fulton County Superior Court, six residents claim the Foundation should have to follow City of Atlanta rules building and environmental rules, even though the state owns the land.
“There is extremely massive construction going on, with grading activities and building buildings and everything, and it’s caused all these neighborhoods a good bit of concern,” said Bruce Brown, an attorney for the plaintiffs.
