There will be another round of arguments to determine the fate of a shuttered golf club near New Tampa.
The setting, however, is shifting from Hillsborough County Commission chambers to a 13th Judicial Circuit courtroom.
Home-building company G.L. Acquisitions Corp. filed suit last week seeking to overturn the County Commission’s July decision rejecting the company’s request to rezone the 150 acres of the closed Pebble Creek Golf Club.

Downs Boulevard and just 1.5 miles south of Pasco County, dates to 1967 — five years before the actual Pebble Creek development of 1,353 homes began.
