It’s old but new again.
The Port Colborne Golf and Country turns 90 next year, making it one of the oldest golf facilities in the Niagara Peninsula.
It was tired and struggling, however, until a new ownership group purchased it from the members this winter.
That new group includes Allan and Sandy Billyard and Nick Durbano, a name that will be familiar to Hamilton hockey fans for his ownership of the Red Wings Junior hockey club in the late 1960s and early 1970s.
They convinced Tom Vanderlip to come over from Peninsula Lakes to be their general manager.
Vanderlip, a Burlington native, had been at Pen Lakes for 13 years, helping it develop a reputation as one of the places to play and dine in Southern Ontario.
