The owner of Glen Abbey Golf Course, has filed a motion to have the place buldozed.
Just last month the entire course was deemed a heritage site, and as a result, many thought it would stay a golf course forever.
But ClubLink, who currently owns and operates the property, says the designation oversteps it's bounds.
"The way that they've written the attributes, if that's the way the heritage act was to be used, Maple Leaf Gardens would not be a Loblaws today." says Robert Visintin, from ClubLink.
He says the standards they have set in the heritage designation not only states that it must stay as a golf course, but it must also meet the standard so high that it could be used to host the Canadian Open.
"It costs a lot to maintain the golf course to its current standard."
So, they are planning on moving ahead with their demolition goals. ClubLink would like to see 124 acres of the site redeveloped into more than 32 hundred homes and apartments, with a mix of commericial space.
So far, there's been no response from the Town of Oakville.
Glen Abbey, was designed by golf legend Jack Nicklaus and opened in 1977 and is considered one of the crown jewels of the sport in Canada.
It has hosted the Canadian Open more than any other course in Canada and is slated to host the open again in 2018.
