Gray, the new course president,and his family partners live within a kilometre of the course, and all have played there. The previous owners asked if they'd be interested in buying the business.

No big changes

Gray said it took a little time to warm up to the idea, but they love the property and want to see it continue. He saidno big changes are planned to the course or the staff.

"We need to learn the business a little bit and hopefully we can bring something to the course that will only improve it," he said.

The 18-hole course includes a driving range and clubhouse restaurant,and bills itself as the province's "premiere golf-teaching facility."
