"Planning Culture" driven by Strategic Plan.
Approved in 2010, the Strategic Plan provides a road rnap for the future. Identified issues, needs, goals and objectives help provide the perpetuation and continued viability of the Club.
Renaissance Plan to restore original course design.
In 2005, the Club began to execute gradual restoration of the golf course to bring it back to the original Donald Ross design. A longer term Tree Plan for the golf course and grounds will ensure the viability of our woodlot for years to come.
Capital Plan addresses future needs and funding.
Within the Clubhouse, the lifespan of key elements like HVAC equipment, the roof, furnishings and fixtures is considered so that replacement can be planned in an orderly manner. Golf course maintenance equipment is replaced in a similar planned fashion.
Clubhouse Master Planning anticipates the future.
It is important we keep our clubhouse up to date, current with mernber expectations, while preserving its traditional warmth and heritage look and feel.
