Three men in Medford motel hospitalized after heroin overdoses ... SINCE YOU ASKED Since You Asked: What's happened to Cedar Links golf course? Comment MailTribune.com Writer Posted Oct. 10, 2015 at 12:01 AM Posted Oct. 10, 2015 at 12:01 AM » Social News We have waited two or three years now, and Cedar Links golf course is a picture of hopelessness. The trees are dying, grass hasn’t been mowed and the once-beautiful ponds that were home to ducks and other feathered creatures are now dried up, and the remaining water is full of algae. What has happened, and why are the owners letting the golf course dry up? — Karen W., Medford Cedar Links golf course is still a prime piece of real estate that will soon be developed into a massive residential complex. “We should be breaking ground in the next 30 to 60 days,” said Eric Artner, one of the partners with Cedar Investment Group LLC. Initially, much of the work will take place on the north side, eventually moving south on the 114-acre project. Artner said the plan is to build about 15 houses at a time in case the economy shifts. “We don’t want to get caught in a downturn,” he said. As to the brown grass, dying trees and stagnant ponds, Artner said, “That’s what happens at the end of summer. It’s a dry year.” Some effort will be made to save some trees if they fit into the development plans, but others will likely be torn out, Artner said. Bulldozers will be carving out streets and putting in pipes. In general, much of the dry grass, ponds and other features you see will be changed markedly. Many ponds will be filled in, while others might be saved, according to documents filed with the city of Medford. For the entire project, the total number of residences would be around 460 units.
