Developers want to build a high-end, resort-style golf facility at the outer fringes of Fairhope and place it in Barnwell.

The Daniel Corporation’s proposal includes a 310-lot single-family home development on 549 acres (still to be acquired) generally located west of the airport, at the intersection of Greeno Road and CR 24, extending west across CR3 in the Barnwell/Pt. Clear area.

This project would include numerous amenities including a restaurant, clubhouse, and an 18-hole championship golf course spread out across the southern part of Greeno Road between Fairhope and Barnwell.

The Fairhope council members have passed a resolution committing to providing water, sewer, and natural gas services to the Daniel Corporation’s development.

The developer agrees to finance and install all utility infrastructure to the project including new water and sewer main pipes according to Fairhope leaders.
 They will also donate one acre of land on Waggoner Road to the city for a new water storage tank-tower, well, and water treatment plant (which the city will build hopefully using an upcoming $3 million federal grant).

However, the water for the golf course itself will use a private lake for irrigation, not city water according to officials.

Since the project falls within Baldwin County’s Planning District 17, once the property is acquired the developer will have to get approval from the Baldwin County Planning Commission before proceeding.

However, Fairhope may annex the property into the city according to the terms of the agreement.

Developers continue to eye the southern part of Fairhope where it meets the Barnwell community and the county. Currently, several subdivisions and other building projects are either planned or underway in the same area and Barnwell continues to be ripe for residential and commercial growth.
