Salt Lake City's administration reported to the Council on Tuesday that reopening Wingpointe Golf Course isn't viable unless the Federal Aviation Administration reconsiders a 2012 decision that the land must be leased at fair-market value. Last year, the City Council approved more than $60,000 for maintenance of the course in case it could be reopened Ñ keeping the tees, greens and fairways "alive" but not "playable." Here a jet passes over the golf course as it approaches the Salt Lake International Airport as it in Salt Lake City Tuesday January 17, 2017.
