Ramapo’s Minisceongo Golf Club Sold after 20 Years

January 17, 2016 by Michael Castelluccio

Minisceongo Golf Club

“A well-know Rockland developer has sold the Minisceongo Golf Club, prompting questions about the property’s future. In a letter to members Wednesday, Eric Bergstol said the 18-hole, 60-acre course at 110 Pomona Road would no longer operate as a golf club. The financial terms of the deal were not disclosed, and the new owner has not been named. Minisceongo opened in 1994 and its greens and fairways span a vast and still-pristine swath of land in unincorporated Ramapo, bordering Mount Ivy County Park. Rumors of a sale had been circulating for months. News of the sale sent a shiver of unease through neighboring villages. Pomona Mayor Brett Yagel expressed fear that a high-density housing development could come in and change the area’s semi-rural character. “It’s a shame to lose that open space,” he said. “The roads around here were once cow paths.”If it’s going to be housing it should be done responsibly,” he added, sounding resigned. “That’s all we ask.” The property’s history dates to the 1700s, when the Conklin family established a settlement there. They’re buried near the fourth hole. The clubhouse is a former boarding school for inner-city children. The course was opened in 1994 after some much-needed renovations.” You can read the complete Journal News coverage here. (Editor’s note: This site is in unincorporated Ramapo, and any building planswill be controlled by the Ramapo Boards–Planning and Zoning Board of Appeals–both of which have grossly irresponsible records under the St. Lawrence administration.)
