elmwood clubhouse

Some big changes could be coming to Elmwood Golf and Country Club in Swift Current.

Members will discuss a new residential development in the works at the course at the AGM tonight at 7:30pm from the clubhouse.

"We have sent out that plan to our membership through an email, and now we're just waiting," said Elmwood GM Sheldon Reinhart. "We have to meet with the City and figure out what it's going to take to get this done and that kind of stuff. There's no deal in place, we're still in negotiations, and trying to figure out what's the best way for Elmwood to move forward with our green renovation project."

The development is expected to extend from the driving range around to the hill at the 16th green.

Reinhart says he expects the range will remain open this season, and things should start up there again next week if the weather holds up, with the full course opening up hopefully by the third week of April.
