The City of Windsor is moving forward with plans to construct the new Roseland Golf Course Clubhouse, and is asking the public for feedback.
The city says it aims to incorporate current golfing trends into the design and construction of the future golf course amenity.
Roseland offers an 18-hole golf course designed in 1926 by renowned golf course architect Donald J. Ross and constructed in 1927. The property is the centerpiece of the Roseland Park subdivision. The course itself was designated under the provisions of the Ontario Heritage Act in 2003.
The new Roseland Golf Course Clubhouse concept was created by GGA Partners, an international consulting firm. GGA Partners was retained to develop Roseland's Strategic Business Plan (2019), oversee public consultation on the project (2020), and complete the Clubhouse Feasibility Study (2021).
'The Roseland Golf Course Clubhouse represents a significant investment at Roseland. Public consultation has been a key piece of the puzzle with all developments at Roseland for years, and public input on the concepts for the new clubhouse is vital to the overall success of the project. This is a significant investment in infrastructure that overlaps with economic development, tourism and hospitality, quality of life enhancements, and Housing Solutions Made for Windsor,' said Windsor mayor Drew Dilkens.
Approximately $5.7 million is available through the city's 10-year capital plan for Roseland, with funding to support demolition of the existing clubhouse, site servicing, temporary arrangements for staff during demolition and construction, and the design and construction of the new clubhouse.
Design elements for the new facility will include:
Increased focus on golfing and the golf course
Smaller footprint for the physical building, at approximately 5,500 square feet
One floor
Building oriented towards the golf course and putting green, preserving the putting green and blending seamlessly into the broader site
A move towards covered outdoor seating, in place of traditional indoor seating
Convenient, grab-and-go style food and beverage service
Upgraded washroom facility
Storage facilities and an administrative area
Open House:
Residents, golfers, user groups and stakeholders are invited to attend an in-person public open house to learn more about the proposed clubhouse design concept and engage with project team members.

Time: 3 p.m. to 7 p.m.
