    Re: Craigowan Golf Club

    I played this course this past summer with an underpar coupon with my brother-in-law. We were treated real good as were the other couple we were paired with. I also bought another underpar for this summer to be played again with my brother-in-law We really enjoyed the course and were looking forward to playing again. Now I guess we will just have wait and see what happens an what underpar will do to protect our money invested.

      Correct me if I am wrong, but did I hear that 75-100 members did NOT renew for the past 2016 season or was that a myth ? If true, what happened .... as that was clearly an organized exodus, and that feat alone would have put the club in its current dIRE sTRAITS.

        So to be clear, get they're for sale, but is closing the club in the near term a possibility if they don't get an offer soon?

        Have to think the sell cycle for an operation like a golf course has to be lengthy and it could take a year to sort itself out.

        As an aside Rick Young who writes for SCORE mag is a member and Tweeted about the sale last week.

        The London Free Press also wrote about the possible sale this past Friday:

        The good news is the Woodstock Sentinel is quoted as saying there are multiple potential buyers...

        I also have an Underpar pass for 2 for this season and hope it gets sorted out for the long term soon.

            Well let's hope that whoever gets it keeps it the way it is.

              Consultant brought in to go over potential buyers and to bring information to the board for a decision. Not exactly sure on timeline but hopefully relatively quick so there won't be a late start to 2017. And hopefully not Golf North because they'll butcher the course and ask too much to play it just like every other course they own.

                in this woodstock sentinel review article it says they want it sold by the end of march. i guess bidders have untill february 20 to make an offer. that sounds hopeful for opening sometime in spring 2017!



                maybe everyone at the club will get lucky and the gateman milloy company that bought stratford a few years ago will buy them...or someone not named golf north

                  So I'm guessing this will probably be a new golf north course soon!!

                    Well, they (GolfNorth) have lost Whitetail & Oliver's Nest
                    Every great idea starts out as a blasphemy

                          Olivers Nest was very recently purchased by Cardinal/Redcrest. Like weeks. Whitetail was bace in December. I didnt get a great feeling fron the pro shop when I was there last year.
                          Really bummed about Olivers Nest. It was really growing on me. On the other hand I planned to get out there at least twice this year with my GN membership so probably downgrade that to 50% chance of once.

                            Heck no! I've heard Gateman Milloy is the front runner.

                              Nope. They have not bought anything this winter. I even suggested (half joking) they should pick up Craigowan. The one guy that seemed to know lots said they had already been bought but it wasn't Golf North.

                                Rick Young of SCORE Magazine dedicated another blog to the ongoing situation at Craigowan:

                                My club of 40 years is about to be sold. Will the new owner want to turn it around or tear it down?


                                To echo others, it looks as if an announcement is pending Monday, and the fear is eventually, it could fall to Real Estate needs - As a homeowner in Kitchener, I'm seeing first hand the community need for more housing as the GTA expands southwest...

                                Many people who have roots in my community are moving to the Woodstock area, and need for more housing is only going to continue to put pressure on green spaces and our beloved Golf Courses...

                                I know first hand many would greedily love to see such Waterloo Region institutions such as Rockway, and Doon sold off to developers.

                                Very sad, but don't see the pressures in this area subsiding anytime soon as memberships decline and housing needs increase.
