The New Golftown

**fundonny** · 06-05-2006 11:47 AM

Looks like it's going to be about a five minute walk from my house, on Belfast, at the Ottawa Train Yards. I can see my bank account shrinking unless we find a new house soon!

**GarthM** · 06-05-2006 11:49 AM

Where did you see that? I heard there was a big Walmart going in there as well.

**Big Johnny69** · 06-05-2006 11:50 AM

Where'd you hear this? I heard it was more likely going to be in Orleans.

**fundonny** · 06-05-2006 11:53 AM

Yep, Walmart is opening in September. I read it this morning in an Alta Vista newspaper.

**hoolio** · 06-05-2006 11:53 AM

God no... I work at the Station, this is not going to be good for me.

**fundonny** · 06-05-2006 11:54 AM

Geoff, Hoolio and I are going to go broke.

**Big Johnny69** · 06-05-2006 11:55 AM

Me either. I work on Trembly Rd. I think many of my breaks will be spent walking around GT. Going to have to start leaving the bank cards at home when I go to work.

**fundonny** · 06-05-2006 11:56 AM

They'll open an account for you there Geoff, if they're smart! LOL

**BullDog** · 06-05-2006 12:17 PM

And I live just up the Vanier Parkway. WOOHOO!!!!!!

**hoolio** · 06-05-2006 12:18 PM

I think that the high-ups at GT have been watching the forum, collecting data about big club-ho's and have used the data, along with the help of Google Maps to decide upon a nice money-making local.

Damn you, Marvelous Technology!

**big mac** · 06-05-2006 07:00 PM

HEY---where is thotho? He told us he had inside info that it was in Orleans.

**jvincent** · 06-05-2006 07:09 PM

Awesome. I was just driving past the trainyards on the weekend, looking at the obvious Walmart building and wondering what else was going in there.

**guyfrompei** · 06-05-2006 09:03 PM

I also heard GT was coming to Orleans sooner than later. Maybe next year?

**jvincent** · 06-05-2006 10:16 PM

I have a hard time believing the Ottawa market can support three GolfTowns in the short term.

I agree, don't think 3 could survive.

**hoolio** · 06-06-2006 09:08 AM

Well I thought I would take a swing by the site this morning on my way in, and if I'm not mistaken, I believe I saw Mr. Johnston sitting in a lawn chair out front with a hard hat and an giddy/eager look on his face.

Then again it was early and I could have just been imagining things.............

**Big Johnny69** · 06-06-2006 09:13 AM

I thought it was you. How come you didn't wave back?

**fundonny** · 06-06-2006 03:55 PM

Hilarious Hoolio!!!!!!!

**Sakuraba** · 06-06-2006 04:05 PM

Donny your sig is latin for " I'm going to take a mulligan"

Take the Vanier Parkway / AltaVist exit south and then turn left onto Industrial.

The actual mall is sandwiched between Industrial / Belfast / the tracks.

**fundonny** · 06-06-2006 05:16 PM

Sakuraba, you're right. Gotta change it again...

It's going up a five minute walk from my house!!! YAY!!!!!!!

**OutOfTheRough** · 06-09-2006 01:09 PM

Just got an email from golftown head office in Markham, and they said that they don't have any plans of putting another Golf Town in the Ottawa area as of yet....

DO NOT tell my wife.... That is too close.

dH · 06-09-2006 02:52 PM

Yeah my gf will love it.. "Lets go to breakfast and than golftown for an hour"

**Gofish2** · 06-11-2007 07:58 AM

I see its been a year since any postings on the new Golftown. Any news on when it will open ?

**jvincent** · 06-11-2007 08:41 AM

Building is going on furiously. There was an article on the development in the Citizen a week or so ago and the manager for the mall specifically mentioned that Golftown would be a tenant.

**Colby** · 06-11-2007 09:13 AM

I was playing golf with a Golftown employee on the weekend and he mentioned that it was to open in October/November time frame. Just in time for Christmas shopping.

**LBH** · 06-11-2007 09:35 AM

Info on the shopping centre, the site plans and its tenants (GolfTown is listed as one) can be found here:

The Wal-Mart has been there a while now. It's like some "secret" Wal-Mart, I went in at Christmas to get a toaster and I think there were 5 cars in the parking lot. Can't wait for GT, no more half hour drives to look for stuff.
