The Carolina Panthers now own a Rock Hill golf course. The latest on team land deals.

The Carolina Panthers purchase of Waterford Golf Club is complete.

County records now show the golf course along the Catawba River sold March 13 for $2.25 million. The new owner listed as Waterford Golf Club LLC lists the same address as the team, at Bank of America Stadium.

County records also show GT Real Estate Holdings as the owners of three properties in York County. GT Real Estate is the company Rock Hill, York County and the Rock Hill School District negotiated with on the Panthers headquarters project planned for Rock Hill.

One GT Real Estate property is about two acres off Mt. Gallant Road connected to the larger headquarters site off I-77. The team bought those two acres Jan. 14 for $250,000. The other two properties sit beside one another on Dave Lyle Boulevard, at the golf club. County records show the team bought those two parcels at a combined 25 acres, on March 4 for $1.75 million.

County records don’t yet show team ownership of the more than 200 acres off I-77 where team headquarters will go. Plans there include practice facilities, hotels, restaurants and other additions between the current Cherry/Celanese roads and Dave Lyle Boulevard interchanges. The project will have its own new interchange off I-77.

York County passed the second of three needed readings earlier in the week on economic incentive deals for the team. Those deals involve $1 billion of new investment, a figure area development leaders say could be twice that amount with surrounding growth spurred by the Panthers relocation from Charlotte.
