A 10-year project to redevelop the Victoria Golf Club is near its end.
The Victoria Golf Club unveiled four new buildings, including a maintenance centre, snack bar, staff office, and washrooms, on May 12.
The buildings replace old, deteriorated facilities that were B次元官网网址渋nadequateB次元官网网址 to the club and its members, according to Scott Kolb, general manager of the club.
B次元官网网址(The new facilities are) definitely more attractive and the newer structures also give us more storage space,B次元官网网址 Kolb said.
The size and placement of the two main buildings (the maintenance and staff centres) has also increased the clubB次元官网网址檚 useable floor space to 9,000-square-feet from 4,000-square-feet.
The new maintenance centre allows about $1 million worth of equipment, such as tractors, to be stored indoors rather than outdoors, Kolb explained, adding that the machines will last longer.
The project, which was initially estimated at $3.2 million, cost $2.5 million.
B次元官网网址淥ne of the good things about delaying the project a couple years was that it gave us more time to do it right,B次元官网网址 Kolb said.
Construction started last October and was expected to be complete in April, but issues with hydro and weather caused a slight delay.
B次元官网网址淚t gave us a little extra time to clean up some of the yard and now all thatB次元官网网址檚 left is some of the boulevard work,B次元官网网址 Kolb said.
