Anyone heading out to Sparrow Lakes Golf Club who hoped to enjoy some tee time over the past several days will have been met with pylons across the driveways and a notice of foreclosure posted on the clubhouse door and kiosk window.
Dated May 17, the notice says that the property, a 36-hole golf course on either side of South Pelham Road in Welland, has been foreclosed upon.
Rob Dunn, general manager and head professional at Sparrow Lakes, said the owners of the property have no comment at this time.
“They would like to talk to (The Tribune) when they do reopen so that they can explain some things,” he said in a voicemail left with the newspaper on Friday, although there is no indication of when that might be.
Court documents show 992548 Ontario Inc., represented by Bruce Smith of Lancaster, Brooks and Welch Barristers and Solicitors in Welland, issued a statement of claim (mortgage action—foreclosure) for the property on March 30.
Smith said on Friday he could not disclose the exact identity of his client or make a comment on his or her behalf without permission.
