FERGUS, ON, July 25, 2024 /CNW/ - GolfNorth Properties and Geranium are thrilled to announce the next chapter in Fergus and Belwood's history of golf and real estate. Today, we proudly share the rebranding of Fergus Golf Club as Belwood Golf Club, paying homage to its original identity as Belwood Lake Golf Club, located just steps from Geranium's newest estate home community, Belwood Estates.
This significant decision in collaboration with Geranium, an award-winning Ontario homebuilder since 1977, signals an exciting combination of premier golfing and residential offerings in the Fergus/Elora, Ontario area. Belwood Estates will feature bungalow and two-storey estate homes on ½ acre lots just steps from the locally-adored golf course. This will be a prime opportunity for residents to partake in the area's established golfing culture and embrace its roots, while living in a luxury estate home community with the scenic golf course next door.
The partnership between GolfNorth and Geranium is a testament to the efforts both organizations are putting forth to enhance the area's identity. While contributing to the overall expansion and development of the region, amplifying the heritage of the area remains a priority for both parties.
"Living in the Fergus/Elora area means being a part of a community rich in history, golf culture, and lush surroundings. Our estate homes are designed to enhance the lives of future and current residents, while also complimenting Belwood and its surrounding areas," explains Boaz Feiner, Principal of Geranium. "With the creation of Belwood Estates, residents can embrace everything the region already has to offer, while in a beautiful two-storey or bungalow estate home."
Belwood Golf Club has a vision to redefine the meaning of public golf, combining its local history as Belwood Lake Golf Club with a bold new direction under the expertise of renowned golf course architect, Doug Carrick. Carrick brings his unparalleled creativity and vision from his works at TPC Toronto, Calerin Golf Club, and Angus Glen, to transform Belwood Golf Club into an attractive option for golfers of all levels.
Shawn Evans, President of GolfNorth, expressed his enthusiasm, stating "This is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to redefine what a local public golf course can be. Golfers will be thrilled with the new design and clubhouse, while ensuring that this will remain an affordable option for the residents of Fergus/Elora and area".
The reimagined Belwood Golf Club promises a "challenging, interesting, and fun layout in under four hours", says Carrick. Featuring Carrick's signature touch, the course presents an executive-style par-66 layout stretching over 5,200 yards, including eight par threes, eight par fours, and two par fives. Carrick says the new course, with its compact layout, is "unlike anything I have designed to date".
As part of the revitalization, an all-new clubhouse will be built, poised to elevate the entire golfing experience at Belwood Golf Club. It will meet the high standards set by the new course layout and offer opportunities for tournaments, meetings, and events while serving as a hub for social gatherings, meals, and celebrations for golfers and the broader community.
Redevelopment of the golf course will begin in 2024 as will the sales of Belwood Estates. Belwood Golf Club will be a testament to GolfNorth's commitment to ongoing investment to keep public golf affordable and accessible, while setting a new standard for golfing experiences in Ontario. Belwood Estates represents Geranium's commitment to providing an exceptional lifestyle for its residents offering thoughtfully designed floorplans, and maintaining an exceptional level of craftsmanship in every home they build.
