These attributes will help us bring our vision of the luxury golf and village concept to life here at Soleta.”
“I am very excited to be reuniting with David Leadbetter, as well as working with Nick Price, to bring their golf course and practice facility visions together and create a property like no other in the area,” said Rummings. “Soleta is going to be a truly special place to live and golf.”
