The 22-acre community will be spread out over up to eight buildings and include many outdoor community amenities according to a press release. Located at the end of Clonsilla Road near Lansdowne Street, the property is off a hilltop which has great views according to Brad Smith, AON President.

“The views from this area are phenomenal,” he explained. “You either have views of the golf course or overlooking the City of Peterborough with all the trees in the area and the views in the fall are spectacular. When I was putting this together, it really fit with our portfolio and the growth of the seniors community.”

Kawartha Golf Club remains intact during the whole construction process set to begin next year. The proposed units to be built could aid in generating extra income for the club as they look forward to working with AON Inc. according to Rob Elliot, Kawartha Golf Club president.

“The Kawartha Golf Club looks forward to AON Inc. creating this wonderful community and the opportunities that may arise for the Club to integrate with it,” he said.

“There will be nothing in size and variety to compare to this project in Peterborough and the region’s growing seniors’ population will welcome these much-needed residential options including the safety features this community will offer them,” said Smith. “Never have so many senior geared lifestyle options been incorporated into one community. The FAIRWAYS will be a premier community for seniors and AON is excited to commence on the necessary next steps with the City of Peterborough to make this community a reality.”

This is a proposed development of 550 units and must go through the approval processes with the City of Peterborough. At this time, the plan remains a proposal until formally finalized.

Peterborough Man Hits His First Hole In One & It Happened Playing With His Dad On Father's Day At Kawartha

Steve Stanlick is in his 46th year playing at Kawartha Golf & Country Club in Peterborough, and finally got his first hole in one.

But it gets better: Steve was part of a foursome that included his Dad, Roy, and the shot he made happened on Father’s Day.

“It was a 199 yard 5 wood on number 12,” Stanlick tells PTBOCanada. “It was a nice high draw that landed just shy of the top of the hill on the green and slowly rolled toward the hole.”

“We did lose sight of it but Dan Chimenti said he thought it might have gone in,” Stanlick tells PTBOCanada. “As we approached the green and did not see a ball, we knew it must be in the hole.”

Stanlick says it was a great feeling to make that shot with his Dad on this special day. “I’m very happy he was there to witness it, especially on Father’s Day.”

Here’s video of Stanlick celebrating after the big shot…
