THE EVICTION AND FUTURE OF ENTERTAINMENT
The recent eviction of GolfSuites from Riverwalk Crossing in Jenks has raised questions about the future of the popular golf and Entertainment facility.
The eviction, initiated by OneFire Holding Company, a subsidiary of the Muscogee (Creek) Nation, was the result of alleged breaches in the Lease Agreement, with OneFire claiming that GolfSuites owes at least $2 million in unpaid lease payments.

GolfSuites, however, contends that the eviction stems from disagreements over the maintenance of the artificial Turf on the Driving Range and other Issues with the Rental Agreement. The company had previously contested in court that OneFire was responsible for repairs to the Turf, which GolfSuites claimed was damaged prior to their lease.
Despite these disagreements, GolfSuites maintained its operations until the eviction.
