Chedoke Golf Course Review
The Chedoke Golf Course sits at the base of the Niagara Escarpment, southwest of the downtown in Central Hamilton. The 112-hectare piece of land is comprised of two (2) 18-hole public golf courses: the Beddoe and the Martin, and is known by many in the community as a cherished piece of open space.
The City of Hamilton has owned and operated the Chedoke Golf Course lands for over 100 years and will continue to in the years to come. As part of this review the City is exploring a range of feasible future uses for these lands beyond golf as a primary use, in response to several factors including:
- evolving community needs;
- climate resilience objectives;
- change in the discourse around the way municipal golf course lands are used;
- growing demand for accessible green and recreational spaces.
