BackCreek Golf Club, which opened in 1997 and has been praised as one of the better public courses in the area, will turn private by 2006.
BackCreek will be associated with The Saint Annes Club, an 18-hole course and 438-home housing development that held its honorary ground-breaking Tuesday.
Next year, BackCreek will remain available to the public while opening itself to early members of the Saint Annes Club awaiting the completion of the other course.
