When some of the states in the U.S. legalized cannabis, there was an immediate uptick in travel to these legal weed areas. Cue: cannabis tourism. According to Forbes not only is cannabis tourism “the next big thing” it attracts supporters from all walks of life “from lawyers to truckers.” In Ontario, a group of visionaries are gearing to take a bite out of the weed pie with the opening of Rolling Greens — North America’s first cannabis-themed golf course.

One of the visionaries out to redefine the word “greenskeeper” is Rolling Greens Director of Entertainment & Media Relations Gordon Weiske. You might wonder why Weiske and his group of visionaries have taken this route within Canada’s nascent cannabis industry. With Canadians slated to spend CAD $7 billion on cannabis this year, the market needs more than growers and dispensaries.

Rolling Greens, which was formally Lombard Glen Golf Club, is slated to open for the upcoming golf season. Besides teeing off with a joint, what else is there to do at Rolling Greens? Glad you asked. Weiske is thrilled to offer several entertainment options that include musical events, mini golf (unpopular opinion: it’s harder than actual golf) and a Frisbee® golf (aka frolf) course.
