Concerns in the Community

In September 2020, the owners of the Lakeside Golf Club announced their intention to partner with Slokker Homes to redevelop the golf course as a residential community. 


A variety of interested parties with differing connections to the course have expressed concern, worry and objection to this plan. 

Possible effects of a Redevelopment

Homeowners and Residents

Could golf course redevelopment lead to:

  • Drop in property value, resale value and purchaser interest?
  • Loss of our view and scenery?
  • Loss of privacy and security?
  • Increased pedestrian and vehicle traffic?
  • Construction noise and disturbance? 
  • An increase in theft and trespassing?
  • Overcrowding? 
  • Water-drainage issues?
  • Psychological distress and wellbeing?
  • Homeowners moving out of the community?
  • Loss of neighbors and social ties?
  • Inconvenience of lost proximity to a golf course?
  • School overflow and over capacity concerns?

Members and Golfers

Could losing the course lead to: 

  • Loss of social connection, recreation and membership?
  • Loss of dues and/or investment?
  • No local programs for juniors who want to pursue golf?
  • Loss of intergenerational connections?
  • Dismantling of a valued venue for events?

Environmental Impact & Ecosystem Destruction

 Would destruction of the golf course cause:

  • Destruction of trees and greenery?
  • Destruction of bodies of water and ponds?
  • Disappearance of wildlife habitats?
  • Limited greenspace?
  • Drainage and flooding concerns?
  • Increased pollution and waste?
  • Dust, noise and other construction issues? 

Tourism, Travel and City Landmark

Could potential impacts include:

  • Decrease in golf tourism?
  • Less sales to local small businesses?
  • Lack of tournaments and event space bringing people to the community?
  • Destruction of our community heritage and a valued landmark?
  • Decreased interest in Chestermere as a vacation spot or event destination?
  • Decreased interest in moving to the community or purchasing a home here?
  • Elimination of a major outdoor recreation opportunity during COVID-19?

Recreation, Social Connection and Sport

Could losing the golf course mean:

  • Less ability to "age in place" and enjoy a retirement lifestyle?
  • Loss of the "Junior Golf Program" and recreation for kids?
  • A decrease in recreation options in Chestermere?
  • Negative impact on active living and mental well being?
