McDONOUGH— After years of managing the Cotton Fields Golf Club, Schwendinger Management LLC wants out of the contract it entered into with Henry County in 2007.
During Tuesday’s board of commissioners meeting, County Manager Lyndon Bonner said representatives with Schwendinger — which owns several golf clubs around the state — notified the county weeks ago that the company would no longer operate the golf course, which has been deemed a “money pit” by several county officials and residents.
