Hello Golfers,
October is here and we have to say, the course is in some of the best fall shape we've ever seen. The crews have been out every day working hard to keep the leaves off the fairways and greens, so if you haven't been out yet this month, now is the time to get a round in and enjoy the fall colours.
Season Wrap Up Dates
Our last day open to the public will be Tuesday, October 13th. The pro shop will be closed starting Wednesday, October 14th. Members are welcome to keep golfing until approximately the end of the month, weather permitting.
A big thank you to everyone who came out and golfed with us this year. It has been a great season and we really appreciate all of your support.

Help Support Fair Tax Treatment for Canadian Golf Courses
We're asking for your support to help correct a long-standing tax inequity affecting golf courses in Canada.
Right now, the Income Tax Act allows a Canadian business to take a client to dinner, a hockey game, a concert, skiing or tennis and deduct 50% of the eligible business entertainment expense. If that same business takes a client golfing, the green fees and power cart fees are specifically excluded.
This tax benefit is for Canadian businesses, not golf courses. It's really about fairness and making sure legitimate golf related business entertainment expenses are treated the same as other eligible activities.
A House of Commons e-petition has been launched so that green fees and power cart fees used by Canadian businesses for entertainment can qualify for the same 50% deduction as other eligible activities.
If you are a resident of Canada, please add your name to the petition. Every signature helps show support for this change, and we'd be grateful if you shared it with your friends, family, coworkers and fellow golfers too.
Sign the e-petition here: https://www.ourcommons.ca/petitions/en/Petition/Details?Petition=e-7746
Thank you so much for your support throughout the season. We've loved seeing all of you out on the course this year. Get out and enjoy these last few beautiful fall days, and we can't wait to see you all again next spring!
