Condado de Alhama Golf Course owners issue a statement after recent accusations
Condado’s Alhama Signature Golf Course and facilities become a centre of dispute as owners issue statement
Condado de Alhama Golf Resort community administrators, Inmho, attended a meeting with the golf course owner’s parent company, Alhama Nature, on June 4 to discuss a range of matters after the company Club de Golf Isla del Fraile contracted to manage the Alhama Signature golf course and facilities made a number of accusations posted on social media.
Amongst the issues which were discussed at the meeting were the future of the golf course and other plans that Alhama Nature have for the future of Condado de Alhama.
Assurances were made jointly by Alhama Nature and Alhama Healthy Living, S.L., the subsidiary company and owner of the golf course, respectively, that they are still committed to moving forward with the previous plans promised for Condado de Alhama and want to ensure that the state of the golf course will improve to a better condition.
The company also stated that it will share more plans as more information becomes available.
As a result of the meeting, the companies requested that the following communication, signed by Alhama Nature Director, Mariano Sánchez, be made available to all property owners in Condado de Alhama and interested parties:
“In view of the news that has circulated in recent days in social networks, Alhama Healthy Living, S.L., owner of the course, has the obligation to show its deep rejection to the accusations made, as well as to make the following clarifications:
- That there is a controversy between the owner of the golf course and Club de Golf Isla del Fraile, who has been carrying out, up to the present date and by virtue of a service lease contract, the management tasks of the golf course.
That this controversy has its origin in the absolute loss of confidence in the managers of the golf course, based on the discrepancies in the management entrusted, as well as in a multitude of contractual breaches, in addition to an evident concealment of information.
In this sense and by way of example, among a multitude of issues and as a clarification of such discrepancies, the managers have been neglecting the maintenance needs of the field (Course), with the sole purpose of limiting the necessary costs and expenses in such work, thus obtaining an extraordinary profit and producing in turn a fatal damage to the course itself, damage that has been verified by the agronomic technicians in charge of monitoring the field. This is conditioning the owner to make a large investment in its recovery.
Faced with this loss of confidence, the owner made every effort to negotiate an agreed solution between the parties, with any proposal being rejected outright by the club managing the course and only making an unacceptable counterāproposal, with the sole aim of obtaining unjust enrichment at the expense of the owner.
- For all of the above, the owner adopted the decision to cancel the contractual relationship between the parties, terminating the aforementioned service lease contract to, consequently, recover the management and maintenance tasks related to the operation of the golf course.
To this end, a notarial request was sent, granting a period of five days to abandon the facilities in an orderly manner, with the intention of limiting the possible damage to both the users of the course and the employees as much as possible.
- After the deadline granted for the abandonment of the facilities, and when the time came for the owner to recover the means of work for the development of the maintenance tasks of the course, there have been violent episodes by those responsible for the Isla del Fraile Golf Club involving struggles, threats and coercion, with the consequence of the subtraction of various work machines, preventing their use by the owner. This situation has been brought to the attention of the Guardia Civil, who have filed the corresponding complaint.
Furthermore, up to date, the representatives of Club de Golf Isla del Fraile continue to illegitimately occupy the facilities of the clubhouse and the restaurantācafeteria, which has also been reported to the Guardia Civil.
- Consequently, we wish to conclude this communication by expressing our total and absolute rejection of any accusation, statement or circumstance, made with the sole purpose of defaming and promoting a false image of the owner and the people who act on its behalf, issues that will be aired in the appropriate legal proceedings, but which, to our regret, are causing serious damage to our property and to the whole community that makes up the ALHAMA SIGNATURE course.
We remain at the disposal of any interested person, assuming the commitment to make our maximum effort in the recovery of normality, to keep making use of the extraordinary facilities that we are fortunate to be able to enjoy.”
No doubt homeowners, residents and golfers alike will look forward to a speedy resolution to the dispute and the timely implementation of the proposed plans.
