    Re: Hunters Point closing

    Over population had nothing to do with the golf course closing , over saturation maybe. Too many courses here in the Niagara Region with a small population. The course was apparently not a money maker. I think it was one of the more challenging layouts and I enjoyed playing there.

      Interesting comment considering all the golf courses closing and the increasing population in the GTA.

        I think autoease was right with the oversaturation comment.

        Courses grew faster than the population and now there's a pullback. Especially since we can't watch Tiger play 2000 kms away on TV (what?).

          Hunters Pointe in Welland may be sold to a Toronto group soon, reopen golf course?

            I highly doubt it as I heard they ceased operations as a golf course as it would be easier to sell that way for development, and besides it would be more lucrative rather than operating at a loss.

              They kept a packed tee sheet. It really could make a profit as a course. Not as much as a development would...

              Everytime this thread bumps I get a tad bit of hope it's good news. Dreams always dashed

                It seems rather odd that when I drove past the course yesterday on the 406 that they were cutting the greens and the fairways . The greens looked in really great shape !

                  Just tried to call. Number still works and the same phone system seems to be in place. Got my hopes up again

                      Just heard that the course was sold and will operate this year. But not from any official sources.

                        Hopefully that is the case as it was challenging to play , as well it would appease the members that bought houses in the community . The rumour that I heard was that they were possibly looking for someone to lease the land as an operating golf course until it is sold.

                          I heard it was leased by golfnorth, but not from anyone officially involved so who knows.

                                Rumours are just that. Rumours. They are keeping the grass cut just in case something develops but they said unlikely. Info via email inquiry.
