Papers filed to turn Glen Abbey into housing

Glen Abbey Golf Course in Oakville, Ontario has hosted the RBC Canadian Open 27 times. If its parent company gets its way, though, it may not be hosting golf of any kind in the near future.

According to a report in Toronto's Globe and Mail, ClubLink Corporation has filed preliminary paperwork to turn the course into a residential community that would include 3,000 houses as well as offices and retail stores.

Glen Abbey has hosted the Canadian Open four times in the last eight years, including this year when Jason Day won with a dramatic birdie on the 72nd hole.
