AUSTIN, Texas -- After 70 years, Butler Pitch and Putt will be under new management.

  • Pecan Grove Partners now owns leade
  • New management after 70 years
  • Previous manager missed a signature on contract bid

The Austin City Council voted to turn over the lease to Pecan Grove Partners.

The golf course has been open for 70 years and under the same management for the entire time. Last month, manager Lee Kinser was filling out paperwork for her bid on a new contract with the city when she missed a signature and her bid was rejected.
