By far the biggest transaction recorded at Town Hall last week was the sale of the New London Country Club for $4,018,574.86. The bad news is that the buyer was mortgage holder Dime Bank, (listed in the record as Property Assets, a limited liability corporation that will oversee the property). The buyer’s address is Dime Bank’s office at 290 Salem Turnpike in Norwich.
The bank took possession of the beleaguered 18-hole golf club at 28 Lamphere Road in Waterford after it was forced into foreclosure. The member-owned club, which has been in operation since 1925, had been unable to pay the mortgage in recent months because of declining membership.
The good news for golf lovers, however, is that Dime Bank plans to keep the club open while it searches for another buyer.
