## Resource

Desert Canyon Golf Course is sparking heated debate in Mountain Home, as taxpayers grapple with whether public funds should keep the course running. Mayor Sykes pushes for fiscal balance, but critics argue it’s an unnecessary luxury—especially when other community needs go unfunded. Supporters defend it as a vital community hub, hosting events that foster unity, warning privatization could erase those benefits. Meanwhile, residents question why the pool was shuttered while the course stays open, and the council is still weighing future plans, improvements, and staffing—all while trying to keep this beloved—but costly—asset alive.
