Executive members of the St. Catharines Golf and Country Club are mulling the idea of relocating and selling the 18-hole course for residential development.

“We’ve put together a committee that’s doing some due diligence, evaluating all the different possibilities,” said club president Brett Roberts.
An unidentified developer has offered the club the option of buying property in Queenston to be turned into a golf course as part of a residential subdivision, said Roberts.

“Theoretically, what we’d be able to do is build a new golf course with everything configured to our specifications and then being able to sell the existing property,” he said Tuesday.

The club would then buy a piece of land in the Queenston area in order to build a new 7000 yard championship course, a state-of-the-art practice facility with range and practice holes and a new clubhouse with every imaginable amenity. The members would get to play at the current facility until the new course is completed and the club itself would end up with a nice surplus in funds when all is said and done.

Ball Hiding from Player

If a player cannot find a ball that has been hit in plain sight into a reasonably playable area of the course where there is an accumulation of dead leaves, seasonal debris, grass clippings, or other forms of incidental camouflage in which a furtive ball could improperly conceal itself, the ball shall be deemed to be hiding, but not lost, and another ball may be dropped without penalty as close as possible to the place where the original ball is believed to be lurking.
