The Oakville town council has voted unanimously to reject a plan to demolish the historic Glen Abbey golf course.

Glen Abbey’s owner, ClubLink, filed an application Monday to demolish or remove the golf course and some buildings to make way for a mix of homes, offices and stores.

The golf course has hosted the Canadian Open 28 times.

In August, Oakville voted in favour of proceeding with a notice of intention to designate the Glen Abbey property as a significant cultural heritage landscape.

ClubLink had applied to demolish the golf course and several buildings, but some sites, including stables and the Canadian Golf Hall of Fame and Museum, would have remained.

The development plan proposed construction of 141 detached homes, 299 townhomes, 2,782 apartments, retail and office space, as well as parks, open space and natural heritage areas.

Correction – September 29, 2017: This article was edited from a previous version that mistakenly said that Oakville Town Council voted to designate Glen Abbey golf course a heritage site. In fact, the council voted in August in favour of proceeding with a notice of intention to designate the Glen Abbey property as significant cultural heritage landscape.
