The Irrelevant Golf Course

Hello. The other day I heard Richview, a golf course in north Oakville, was no more. It had been turned into a real estate development.
Richview was a course I had caddied at for the best player at my club in the Ontario Open qualifying round. I also played it one year when it opened in March. I thought it was real nice, and it seemed to fill a niche (a relatively inexpensive public course).
Of course, golf courses have often become irrelevant when developers come by. Because the number of golf rounds played is going down, public courses and high end private clubs are having a tough time meeting cash flow obligations. It's much safer to take the developer money and run. After all, golfers will just head to another nearby course if this one goes away.
Sorry you had to become irrelevant Richview.
Regards,
Irrelevant
