Bank moves to foreclose golf course

The Shaker Hills Golf Club in Harvard is facing foreclosure. The Harvard Board of Assessors received notice on Jan. 9 from an attorney for the Middlesex Savings Bank that the bank will forclose on the public golf course, which covers three parcels of property along Shaker Road, on Thursday, April 12, at 11 a.m.

According to the notice, the owner of the property is Woodland Company, which lists a post office box in Acton as its address. Calls to the club this week were not returned. A voice message says that the club has been closed for the winter since Dec. 4.

While the bulk of the course, 163.41 acres along Shaker and Sheehan roads, is in Harvard, the clubhouse and grill pub are in Ayer, so the club requires liquor licenses from both towns. Harvard Town Administrator Tim Bragan told the Press this week that Selectmen have approved the club’s liquor license for 2012 but haven’t given it to the club yet because the club hasn’t paid for it and because the club owes back taxes on its three parcels.

The liquor license costs $2,500, Bragan said. As of Jan. 10, said town treasurer Debbie Nutter, the club owed $19,856.51 in combined taxes on its three parcels in Harvard for 2011 and 2012.
