The City of Windsor is moving forward with plans to construct the new Roseland Golf Course Clubhouse, and is asking the public for feedback.
The city says it aims to incorporate current golfing trends into the design and construction of the future golf course amenity.
Roseland offers an 18-hole golf course designed in 1926 by renowned golf course architect Donald J. Ross and constructed in 1927. The property is the centerpiece of the Roseland Park subdivision. The course itself was designated under the provisions of the Ontario Heritage Act in 2003.
The new Roseland Golf Course Clubhouse concept was created by GGA Partners, an international consulting firm. GGA Partners was retained to develop Roseland's Strategic Business Plan (2019), oversee public consultation on the project (2020), and complete the Clubhouse Feasibility Study (2021).
'The Roseland Golf Course Clubhouse represents a significant investment at Roseland. Public consultation has been a key piece of the puzzle with all developments at Roseland for years, and public input on the concepts for the new clubhouse is vital to the overall success of the project. This is a significant investment in infrastructure that overlaps with economic development, tourism and hospitality, quality of life enhancements, and Housing Solutions Made for Windsor,' said Windsor mayor Drew Dilkens.
Approximately $5.7 million is available through the city's 10-year capital plan for Roseland, with funding to support demolition of the existing clubhouse, site servicing, temporary arrangements for staff during demolition and construction, and the design and construction of the new clubhouse.
Design elements for the new facility will include:
Increased focus on golfing and the golf course
Smaller footprint for the physical building, at approximately 5,500 square feet
One floor
Building oriented towards the golf course and putting green, preserving the putting green and blending seamlessly into the broader site
A move towards covered outdoor seating, in place of traditional indoor seating
Convenient, grab-and-go style food and beverage service
Upgraded washroom facility
Storage facilities and an administrative area
Open House:
Residents, golfers, user groups and stakeholders are invited to attend an in-person public open house to learn more about the proposed clubhouse design concept and engage with project team members.
Date: Thursday, July 31, 2025
Time: 3 p.m. to 7 p.m.
Location: Roseland Clubhouse, 455 Kennedy Drive West, Windsor, Ontario, N9G 1W9
Drop-in format with display boards and project team members available
Survey:
Those interested can also participate in an online feedback survey (coming July 31, 2025).
The feedback survey will be open from July 31 until Aug. 15, 2025.
The proposed concept will be reviewed at a future city council meeting.

Home sales rose in June, though fewer home sales expected for this year, says CREA

Social Sharing For the second time this year, the Canadian Real Estate Association (CREA) has downgraded its forecast for home sales in 2025, even as it reported the number of homes changing hands across the country in June rose 3.5 per cent compared with a year ago. The association said Canadian home sales last month also increased 2.8 per cent compared with May on a seasonally adjusted basis. In its outlook released Tuesday, CREA said it now expects a total of 469,503 residential properties to be sold this year, a three per cent decline from 2024. In April, the association forecast the number of home sales for 2025 to remain essentially unchanged from last year, which itself marked a steep cut from its January forecast of an 8.6 per cent year-over-year increase. The national average home price is forecast to fall 1.7 per cent on an annual basis to $677,368 in 2025, which would be around $10,000 lower than predicted in April. CREA senior economist Shaun Cathcart said that despite a "chaotic start to the year," the latest data suggests the housing market rebound originally forecast for this year — before it was upended by the Canada-U.S. trade war — may have "only been delayed by a few months." "At the national level, June was pretty close to a carbon copy of May," said Cathcart in a news release, cautioning "we're not out of the woods yet" given U.S. President Donald Trump's latest 35 per cent tariff threat. WATCH | Rise in home sales largely due to Greater Toronto Area, CREA says: Home sales rose in June while prices held steady: CREA 1 hour ago The association said the tariff-related uncertainty that drove so many buyers back to the sidelines earlier this year ended up taking a larger bite out of activity in B.C., Alberta and Ontario than was expected three months ago, but "the good news is markets appear to be entering their long-expected recovery phase, fuelled by pent-up demand, lower interest rates, and an economy that is expected to avoid worst-case tariff scenarios." "Most housing markets continued to turn a corner in June, although market conditions still vary considerably depending on where you are in Canada," said CREA chair Valerie Paquin. "If the spring market was mostly held back by economic uncertainty, barring any further big shocks, that delayed activity could very likely surface this summer and into the fall." CREA said it now forecasts national home sales in 2026 to improve by 6.3 per cent to 499,081. That would put activity back on track with what was expected in its April forecast, when it predicted a 2.9 per cent gain in sales next year. The national average home price is expected to increase three per cent from 2025 to $697,929 next year. Meanwhile, the national average sale price fell 1.3 per cent in June compared with a year earlier to $691,643. There were 47,871 home sales recorded last month, up from 46,237 in June 2024. Why the condo market is plummeting during a housing crisis 2 months ago The association said the recovery in sales activity over the past two months was led overwhelmingly by the Greater Toronto Area The number of newly listed properties throughout the country was down 2.9 per cent month-over-month from May. A total of 206,435 properties were listed for sale by the end of the month, up 11.4 per cent from a year earlier and just one per cent below the long-term average for this time of the year. "June's sales performance came in broadly as expected, with Canadian transactions continuing their gradual recovery from their early-year depths," said TD economist Marc Ercolao in a note. "We expect home sales will continue to rise in the second half of the year as pent-up demand continues to trickle into the market. That said, the sales level should remain subdued as economic uncertainty remains elevated, especially with Canada facing new tariff threats."
