Fyre Lake Golf Course in Sherrard, Illinois is getting revamped under some new ownership.

The new owners held an open house Sunday, June 28, 2015 to show off the improvements being made.

At the beginning of June, Larry Whitty, president of Happy Joe's Pizza, and Mike Thoms, the former owner of Thom's Proestler Company, purchased the golf course.  The previous owner, Todd Raufeisen, sold the course after battles with finances and liquor license discrepancies.

The new owners told News 8 that they are struggling with getting golfers to come to the course because many think it is closed down.

"It's wide open," Whitty said.

 

More than 130 golfers came to the event.
