Thank you to everyone who reached out after our last Muni minute with interest in our Early Membership Sales. Memberships can be purchased at any time via E-Transfer to [email protected] please make sure to attach Full name of the joining member, email they wish to use for online booking, phone number and the correct price after taxes in the transfer. Feel free to reach out to me first if you need the total after tax or want to add on other services beside the membership and need a full total. We will also be open on February 12th, 13th, 19th, 20th, 26th and 27th from 12pm-4pm for anyone who wishes to call in to the clubhouse and purchases their membership over the phone via credit card, or drop off a cheque via our drop off window. Early Membership deals will come to an end on February 28th and the 2021 prices will be put into place.

We have also recently launched our new online booking service and yesterday added anyone who joined during our Pay Now Play Now deal in the fall, you may have received an email today from the new system about your log in information and everyone else will receive theirs as they purchase their 2021 membership. It may be a little learning curve in the Spring for everyone but the new system will be much more user friendly for members, guest and staff.

I look forward to hearing from everyone either over email or phone coming up and then seeing everyone once the season begins.

Hello Everyone

As 2021 has hit us with another lockdown and stay at home order I hope everyone is staying safe and finding ways to stay busy without golf. It has been awhile since I’ve sent out a Muni Minute as we ourselves have been keeping busy at the Muni with many improvements this Fall/Winter.

We saw Vergeer Golf Inc. come in and renovate all of our bunkers.

Seen the majority of our dead ash trees removed from course.

Changed over our tee sheet system from Tee-on.com to ChronoGolf which will give everyone an easier and smoother tee time making experience.

Freshened up our bar area, along with adding a Pro Shop where the pool table used to be, as the Muni will now offer Cobra/Puma, attire, clubs, etc. for sale, along with serval fitting days throughout the year hosted on our range.

Lastly preparing for our new “much bigger” patio, which we should see construction begin end of March and completed by end of April for us to enjoy during the 2021 season.

I truly can’t wait for everyone to see these changes as we always continue to making the Muni the best it can be.

With that being said we are normally starting to prepare for our Early Membership Sales in February, with the clubhouse open for sales on Fridays and Saturdays. I am currently trying to find ways that we can still accommodate these sales within the new restrictions, but for the time being we do offer the option of membership purchases being made via E-transfers and anyone interested should email [email protected] for purchasing information. We also are working on ideas such as open hours for purchases to be made via credit card over the phone remotely, and curbside drop-off style payment during these hours for anyone who still pays via cheque.

I hope to have a solid plan in place in the coming week and will post all details via Muni Minute, Website and our Facebook Page.

Can’t wait to be back golfing in 2021

Stay Safe

Hello Everyone

What a couple weeks of weather to start Nov!! I just wanted to send a quick update on what has happened around the course during this time. Last week we saw 40 dead ash tree removed from holes 6 and 7 along with the start of our full bunker renovation, and hopefully by the end of next week the bunkers will be fully completed, ready for play first thing next spring. This winter we will also see the removal of the forest left of 2 green and the majority of the remaining dead ash on holes 8 and 9. We know it was hard to not be out playing last week in the perfect weather but it has allowed us to get a huge jump start on these projects bringing you the best Muni possible in 2021. I really look forward to everyone seeing these changes come Spring!!

Lastly to complete our 2020 AGM Process here is a quick update from the Board.

Thank you to all members that participated in the AGM process by
requesting report packages.  A few errors were spotted in the package
and corrections were made.

Four 3-year terms were open for the board of directors and the following
members were acclaimed to the positions. Congratulations to Jamie
Antonio, Jack Brooks, Dan Martin and Mark Nelson.

This muni minute concludes the process for the 2020 AGM.

Hello Everyone

What a beautiful fall it has been for golf!! It’s been so nice to see the golf course continue to be busy into the last week of October and with that being said I’m just sending out some quick updates.

For everyone asking about the closing date, we are looking at Sunday Nov 1st right now as being the final day. The weather forecast for the first week of Nov does look nice for golf, but we have the opportunity to have our full bunker renovations start on Nov 2nd, and can’t miss this opportunity to get the work done so next season when everyone returns they are complete and ready to play.

The power carts will be leaving for the season this Friday, so we are asking that everyone who also has their own cart in the compound have it removed by Friday as well.

Lastly for anyone who has yet to clear out their lockers please do so asap so they are clear for winter cleaning, and if you are in possession of a pull cart handle please make sure to return before Sunday.

Thanks, hope to see everyone out this week

Hello Everyone

As the season starts to wind down, I just thought I would send out a few house keeping items. I have yet to decide on a firm closing date, but since the 14 day forecast has a chance of snow from Oct 27th to Nov 1st, I can almost guarantee that it will be somewhere very close to Sat Oct 31st, unless we see a big change in the weather for early Nov. With that being said I am asking that everyone has their lockers cleared out and locks removed by Oct 26th, for winter cleaning. We will also be seeing our carts removed for the season on Oct 30th so we are asking for anyone with their own cart in compound to also have their carts removes by the 30th as well.

Thanks and hope to see lots of people out before the end of the 2020 season.

Hello Everyone

Below are the posted tee times for Saturdays Sr. and Ladies Club Championships. Thank you to everyone that signed up as we have an amazing 76 players playing in the Sr. Club and 14 Ladies. I apologize for this coming out only one day before tournament but the website crashed yesterday and I wasn’t able to get on to send this out. Also Saturday is calling for a substantial amount of rain so please be prepared to play in the rain and if we have thunder and lightening or playing conditions become unplayable the event will just be moved to a later date in September as we have such a busy day and so many players Saturday that a delay is just not in the cards.

SR. Men’s Club Championship

Ladies Club Championship

Look Forward to seeing everyone Saturday!!!
