Committee Recommending Garden City Golf Course be Closed

The budget standing committee is recommending the Garden City Golf Course be closed.

The recommendation was made to try and save the city $200,000 a year.

The issue will go before St. Catharines council December 16 when they review the proposed budget.

Some argue that many residents can't afford going to a private course however usage is down from 17,000 rounds in 2017 to only 12,000 this past year.

The committee is hoping to find a third party operator and will put out a request for proposals this winter.

The golf course has yet to make a profit for the city.
