Golfers at the City-owned Roseland Golf and Curling Club will soon have a few more hazards to contend with.
The golf course will be getting five ponds put in for storm water to flow to on rainy days. This will actually return the water hazards to the course that existed in the original 1926 design.
Mayor Drew Dilkens tells CTV Windsor it will return the course that was built in 1926 back to its natural state, after the weather features disappeared so many years ago.
“It will be good for users of the golf course, but serves a functional purpose by adding storm water capacity” says Dilkens.
The hazards will be on holes eight and nine and will include aquatic habitat enhancements, fringe area tree planting and the creation of environmentally sensitive areas.
The storm water management improvements will benefit not only the course but surrounding residential areas as well.
Construction of the ponds begins next week, but eight holes will close on Friday and the entire par-3 short course will close on Sunday.
A special ten-hole rate will begin on September 25th.
