New Owner Robert Ashford doing everything to keep popular local course afloat.
Upper Saucon Township resident Robert Ashford became the owner of Locust Valley Golf Club on Aug. 1. He also accumulated the $354,960 in back taxes owed by the club.

Upper Saucon Township has given the Golf Clubs a 30-day notice to pay or face a lien.
Upper Saucon Township will seek to issue liens for around $160,000 in back taxes from Center Valley Golf Club, closed as of October 2011, and Locust Valley Golf Club and Pro Shop. “It’s a substantial amount of money that we are owed,” said Township Manager Thomas Beil. Locust Valley Golf Club, located on Valley Road, owes $60,000 and Center Valley Golf Club owes around $100,000 in taxes known as amusement taxes, says Beil.
