The former Bushwood Golf Practice Center at 30 Madison Street could become a recreational facility under plans for Maywood Village. Records show the village purchased the property in May 2021 from the Cook County Land Bank Authority. Maywood Village paid $10 for the property, which was used as a landfill before it became a golf course, according to records.
The family-owned golf course ceased operations after its owners filed for bankruptcy because it could no longer pay its huge annual property taxes, the Village Free Press reported in 2019. In 2017, annual taxes were $301,783. The delinquent 8-acre property subsequently became part of the Cook County Land Bank Authority’s inventory of vacant residential, commercial and industrial properties.
According to the village’s plans, the property could become an entertainment venue. Maywood Trustee Isiah Brandon said that was the proposed use when the village applied to buy the property. The village will also be in charge of managing the property, he said. Currently, the village needs to complete a property appraisal to determine how much the village needs to invest to “make the property better.”
