We live in a community that is in and among holes on a golf course. Many of the ACC guidelines have to do with things you can and can not do if your property boarders the course. ie- no fences if you border the course. Now the course is being sold and will not be used as a course. (It may become sports fields, sold for re-forestation rights etc). I presume that the guidelines will have to be re-written but does the committee have a right to still restrict fences etc? They fight hard against each lot owner who wants a fence if you are not on the course but a lot of lots do have fences due to dogs, children etc.

I would suggest re-writing them. The committee only enforces what is written. It should take a majority vote of ALL members to make the rule changes. Once that is done, then the committee has no choice but to follow the new guidelines the owners want.

What if anything do your covenants say about fences? Or does that doc give the Board or ACC try authority to make rules & guidelines about fences?

If the board or ACC made rules prohibiting fences, the board probably has the authority to eliminate or change the rule.

If fences are prohibited in your covenants/CC&Rs, it would take a vote of the Owners to amend it.

It seems to me that until the HOA body with the authority to do so changes the fence guidelines, the ACC can continue to prohibit them.

I say once there is no golf course is should be easy to apply the same the same guidelines as presently apply to non-golf course lots as there is no golf course. Seems easy peasy to me...famous last words....LOL

I agree.

The fence rule said if you border the golf course no fences.
Per the op, it won't be a golf course. Hence, you won't be bordering one.
