City teeing up plans for Roseland clubhouse overhaul
The City of Windsor is swinging ahead with plans to build a brand-new clubhouse at Roseland Golf Course — and it wants your feedback before going any further down the fairway. A public open house is set for Thursday from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m. at the current clubhouse. An online survey will launch the same day and run through Aug. 15. The proposed design comes from international golf consultants GGA Partners. It would see the new clubhouse downsized to a single-storey, 5,500-square-foot building. Plans include covered outdoor seating in place of traditional indoor dining, grab-and-go food options, upgraded washrooms, storage and admin space are also in the mix. Roughly $5.7 million is already set aside in the city's 10-year capital plan to make it happen. Mayor Drew Dilkens calls it a 'significant investment at Roseland.' 'Public input on the concepts for the new clubhouse is vital to the overall success of the project,' he said. Roseland's historic 18-hole course — designed by Donald J. Ross — was designated under the Ontario Heritage Act back in 2003 and remains a centrepiece of the surrounding neighbourhood. Further details — and the survey, starting Thursday — can be found at

Scheffler and Lowry ride out storm while Morikawa gets bogged down
It was grin-and-bear-it weather during the first morning of the Open, the sort that makes you question why you ever thought a British seaside holiday was a good idea to begin with. The first shower blew in right around the time Scottie Scheffler got to the 1st tee. He had the air of a stubborn parent who had made the mistake of hauling their kids out in the heedless belief that it was going to clear up any minute, and was now determinedly leading them into the local folk museum that had been recommended by the holiday home owners. Scheffler gritted his teeth and got on with it, pretending he was enjoying himself. 'Was there a shot that stood out today for you, that you were really pleased with?' Scheffler was asked after his round. 'No,' he said. Scheffler's round was all ups and downs. He made birdies at the 3rd, where he holed an 18ft putt, and the 7th and 10th, but made bogeys at 9th and 11th when both his tee shots blew wide right into the rough. That put him one-under par by the time the weather finally changed, and he was able to pick up a couple more shots with back-to-back birdies at the 16th and 17th on his way back in. He finished with a 68, which was a hell of a round in the conditions. It left him a shot off the clubhouse lead, an auspicious position for him, and an ominous one for everyone else. For a man who says he doesn't much care about winning, he is mighty good at it. Scheffler just doesn't miss. 'Even when you look at him and it looks like he's hitting a bad shot, it doesn't go in a bad spot,' said his playing partner Shane Lowry. The two of them were playing with Collin Morikawa. They made for an entertaining threesome, with six major championships between them. Lowry, born and raised in County Offaly, is the local favourite, and the sort of lunatic who seems to enjoy playing in these conditions. It's hard to be sure, because he only ever seems to be scowling when he is out there. He has the rictus grimace of a farmer ploughing the lower 40 in a squall. He won the Open here in 2019 by scoring 72 in weather so bad that the tee times were brought forward. Lowry, last man out, ended up winning his one major in some of the worst conditions in the modern history of the championship. Almost everyone else was playing a long iron off the 1st tee, Lowry was one of the few to hit a driver, which he walloped, low, sure, and straight up the fairway. Gosh but he knows how to play in the wind and rain, even after all the years of warm-weather living in Florida. He was two-under through the first six holes, with birdies at the long par-five and the short par-three. He would have been better yet if he had only found his putting touch, but the ball always seemed to sit up inches from the cup. Soon enough he was striding around the greens like a bear just out of hibernation, swatting at the ball like he was trying to bat a passing salmon with his paw. A couple of three-putts when the weather was at its worst meant Lowry finished one under par, sealed with a two-putt from 60ft on the 18th, where his final 5ft par putt was cheered in by a packed grandstand of home fans. Sign up to The Recap The best of our sports journalism from the past seven days and a heads-up on the weekend's action after newsletter promotion Which made Morikawa the odd one out. A lot has been made of Scheffler's curious remarks in his press conference earlier this week, when he got himself in a tangle trying to describe what motivates him. To be honest, Scheffler is the straight-down-the middle sort who might think twice about trying to spell existential crisis out loud, let alone talk about how he is suffering one. Morikawa, though, does seem unsure of himself these days. It is coming up on two years since his last victory, at the Zozo Championship in late 2023. He has used four different caddies in the past six months, and most of his headlines have been about his rows with the media. Out here Morikawa seemed to be on the wrong side of a running argument with his ball. 'Sit, sit, sit,' he pleaded as it scuttled over into the long grass at the back of the 1st green, 'go, go, go,' he urged as it dropped, plopped, and stopped short of the 4th. 'Oh my God!' he bellowed as it flew way wide at the 7th, where it fetched up in a group of spectators gathered on top of one of the high dunes. His day didn't get any better. He made three bogeys on the back nine, and finished four over par and as good as out of it. Like Lowry said: 'Days like today, you can really play your way out of a tournament.'

City asking for feedback on Roseland Golf Course Clubhouse concept
City officials say there will be no impact to the historic Donald Ross designed golf course, but a new clubhouse will be built and the potential for a new condominium complex has been envisioned. (Source: City of Windsor) 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. Date: Thursday, July 31, 2025 Time: 3 p.m. to 7 p.m. Location: Roseland Clubhouse, 455 Kennedy Drive West, Windsor, Ontario, N9G 1W9 Drop-in format with display boards and project team members available Survey: Those interested can also participate in an online feedback survey (coming July 31, 2025). The feedback survey will be open from July 31 until Aug. 15, 2025. The proposed concept will be reviewed at a future city council meeting.
