Murphys, CA…Public invited to learn about proposed local ownership model and restoration of original Robert Trent Jones, Jr. design.  Residents of the Forest Meadows community and the greater Murphys area are invited to a community meeting on Saturday, November 21, 2026, from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. to discuss a proposed plan to return the mothballed Forest Meadows Golf Course to community ownership and restore it to its original full 18-hole configuration.

The meeting will take place at Mountain Christian Fellowship Church, located at 3488 CA-4 (Highway 4), Murphys, CA 95247. The gathering is open to the public and is intended to share details of the rescue plan and gather community input.

The Forest Meadows Golf Course is a Robert Trent Jones, Jr.-designed executive course located in the Forest Meadows community east of historic Murphys. Originally built as an 18-hole layout and opened in 1980, the course was later reduced to nine holes amid ongoing operational and financial challenges. It has served as a local amenity for decades but has faced repeated periods of closure or limited operation.

The proposed rescue plan, advanced by Forest Meadows resident Brian Tewksbury of Murphys Development Company in conjunction with BluePrint Investments & Tax Planning, focuses on true local ownership. Key elements discussed at a prior public meeting include spreading costs across approximately 200 Forest Meadows property owners, options for tax-advantaged investment through IRAs and other retirement accounts, volunteer programs to help reduce operating expenses, and a structured five-year approach. The vision also includes restoring the course to its original full 18-hole Robert Trent Jones, Jr. design and reactivating associated facilities such as the restaurant.

Organizers note that successful community ownership could provide long-term benefits for the broader Forest Meadows area, including enhanced property values and a revitalized local amenity, even for residents who do not regularly use the golf course.

This November 21 meeting continues community discussion following an earlier public session held in October. Attendees will have the opportunity to hear an update on the proposal and ask questions.
