Why?  It is not of any great architectural interest, and the town of Union,
pop. 56,000, is not rich.

If there were enough people in town interested in a another country
club, it would still be a country club. When IBM left town, all the
members left too.  The Binghamton Country Club in Endwell is 1.5 miles
away and seems pretty nice.

The town needs the 75 affordable apartments they'll be building way
more than it needs another golf course.
