Changes are coming to Roseland Golf Course.
The city will be doing some upgrades that will help with storm water management in the Lennon drain and the Roseland neighbourhood.
Roseland Golf Professional Randy McQueen says the golf course will have five ponds dug for storm water to flow on rainy days.
He says the new water features will happen on holes eight and nine and near the Par-3 short course.
McQueen says the changes and added water features will have a similar look to when the course was first designed in 1926.
"We happen to be the beneficiary of enhancing the water feature and pulling all that back out and removing the culvert and opening it up and widening the flow of it and putting in some retention areas so it looks a little bit more esthetic."
McQueen adds the changes at the course will help the community during rainy days.
"The drain gets open back up and then in some areas of it, it just gets widened out to look like a pond so at holes eight and nine, the golfers are familiar with it where the water ran through, they'll be opened up and then widened off to the right side of eight, quite large area and then two areas on nine, left side and right side."
He says some work has already started but the construction of the ponds begin next week. They'll shut down some holes to do the work, but there will still be 10-hole available to play for $19.26.
The improvements at the city owned golf course will also feature aquatic habitat enhancements, fringe area tree planting and the creation of environmentally sensitive areas.
The city says the changes will benefit both the residential and golfing communities.
A portion of the main course and the entire Par-3 short course will be closed during construction phase.
