What Is Current Status of Shreveport Country Club

Back in the fall, the clubhouse at the Shreveport Country Club burned to the ground. It was a total loss. The non profit Winner's Circle Group run by the Shreveport Community Church owned the property at the time. Pastor Denny Duron told KEEL News at the time there was no insurance on the property. The Winner's Circle Group had to step up to get the property cleaned up.

On Friday, Pastor Duron told KEEL News he still owns the property but has been "in an extended due diligence period with a potential buyer."

The country club building had been part of the neighborhood for more than 115 years. Winner’s Circle International, took over ownership of the property in 2008
