Langara Golf Course will be getting an upgrade this year, but not the one Mayor Gregor Robertson was hoping for.
The Vancouver Park Board voted Monday to go ahead with a $3-million drainage upgrade to the course.
“If we had delayed making a decision until later into the summer, there’s no way that that work could even possibly be done this year and meanwhile, we’ve got a land that’s subject to sogginess and the site would continue to degrade, so I don’t think that’s fair to golfers,” commissioner Sarah Kirby-Yung said.
