The Homewood City Council is scheduled to consider setting a public hearing for a proposed golf-oriented outdoor entertainment venue, known as "The Woods". The project is proposed for property located at 504 and 508 Scott Street.

The approximately one-acre site is currently zoned West Homewood Zoning District. As a result, the proposal before the council involves approval of the final development plan rather than a request for rezoning. Plans submitted with the council packet feature an approximately 8,798-square-foot building surrounded by an outdoor recreation area, including outdoor seating and activity areas.

The development plans include the following facilities:

• 15 vehicle parking spaces, including one accessible space
• 21 bicycle spaces

Projected construction is scheduled to begin in November 2026, with completion expected in May 2027. The documents do not specify the exact type of golf activities to be offered, nor do they detail if the venue will include a bar, a restaurant, expected customer capacity, estimated investment, or hours of operation.

The parking plan may also be part of the city's review. While the submitted plan lists 15 vehicle spaces, the agenda documents do not explain if shared or additional parking would be available nearby. Monday's action is not a final approval; the council is being asked to set a public hearing to allow residents to speak for or against the final development plan before a future vote.
