Thank you to all who submitted ideas and completed the survey to help us guide the future of the Garden City Golf Course, the engagement period is now closed.
The City has operated the 18-hole, par-60 course on the site of a former landfill in Merritton for nearly 30 years. As one of the last remaining municipal golf courses in the area, the course operates seven days a week during the spring, summer and fall months and is known for its value and walkability.
Since 2005 the City has worked to make improvements to the attraction with realigned tees, improved drainage, grading, additional trees and other investments. Even with these improvements we are looking for ways to make the course more appealing, sustainable and improve operations.
As part of that effort we recently reached out to the public, inviting users and the community at large to submit their ideas to improve the Garden City Golf Course. These ideas, and data gathered via an online survey, will guide Council and staff as we make important decisions on the future of the course.

We want to hear from you. Tee up a new idea or add your vote of support to one already submitted. We are looking for any way we could improve the course, or it's operations to make it more sustainable and successful for years to come.
One idea that has already come to the forefront during past discussions is a switch back to the use of untreated water for irrigation. Currently the City pays for treated water to keep the course. Previously water was piped free of charge from the Welland Canal. A return to this model would not be without challenges and costs however, the old infrastructure would need to be completely replaced, requiring a full study of water source, cost and environmental impacts.
