On Aug. 21, club members voted 77.5 per cent in favour of the sale and 22.5 per cent against it, general manager Paul Schweyer confirmed in a statement to CBC News.
While no formal offer has been made, the hospital has signalled interest in purchasing 10.3 hectares of land for “future hospital expansion,” according to the club’s website.
The property sits where the current sixth and seventh holes are located, as well as land adjacent to the sixth hole near Ramsey Lake Road.
