The closing took two years, but to Hazelwood’s surprise when it came time to finally sign the documents, part of the golf course and its assets were simultaneously sold to the city of Baytown. Late last year, the city floated a bond issue that could have converted Evergreen Point to a municipal with the addition of some adjacent land next to the 50 acres it had obtained. The bond failed by 60 votes, so for now, Evergreen Point will not survive as a muni, at least not as an 18-hole course.
