Courses like Maple Ridge and Shaganappi are profitable. However, smaller course like Lakeview, Richmond Green, Confederation are less so.
I believe the City's Recreation department is currently doing a strategic review of what to do with the various City golf courses. They may keep some, renovate others, perhaps close a couple for other recreational purposes - but it's hard to say now.
