The golf course question

The course land is zoned open space. In 2019 the Sterling Hills Homeowners Association formally opposed the course owner’s plan to rezone part of it for housing, and in January 2021 the City Council voted 4-1 to deny the owner’s request to amend the General Plan. Council members pointed to a gap between the conditions attached to Tract 4948 and the wording of the recorded CC&Rs. If the fairway view or open space drives your offer, read the CC&Rs and any recorded restrictions on the course before you remove contingencies.

Sterling Hills questions, answered

Is there a Mello-Roos tax in Sterling Hills?

Not a current charge. Sterling Hills parcels appear on the roll of the City’s Community Facilities District No. 1, but the fiscal 2025/26 roll lists $0.00 for every home. The title report may still show the district’s recorded Notice of Special Tax Lien, so ask escrow to explain it.

Will the golf course stay a golf course?

The course has been under its current ownership since 2018, and when the purchase was reported in 2017 the buyer said he planned to keep it an 18-hole course. It remains open for public tee times, and the land is zoned open space; the 2021 vote above is the latest City decision on it.
