Nearly a week after a building inspector closed Glen Lakes Golf Course due to buildings being unsafe to occupy, council began the plan to possible complete closure and sale of the land.
In response to the closure, council heard an update on what the cost would be to re-open the course as soon as possible or just keep the course irrigated and manicured before a possible sale of the land.
“There are two types of temporary club houses if council would like to get the course open as soon as possible,” Director of Field Operations Michelle Woytenko said. “We would have to get a recreational vehicle for approximately 60 days which has not generated electricity and portable restrooms.”
Staff estimated the costs to get the course open as soon as possible to be at nearly $200,000 for a temporary club house, generator for irrigation pumps, electrical hookups for the maintenance yard and shade structures.
