Tobiano announces change in golf course ownership by welcoming Michael Ternier. By approaching the previous owners, John Preston and Henry Bereznicki, Ternier seized the unique opportunity to amalgamate Tobiano Golf with Tobiano Living.
“I am thrilled that I was able to seize a rare opportunity to acquire one of the most remarkable golf courses in North America,” said new owner Ternier, who is also part-owner of the Tobiano real estate development.
By owning 50% of Tobiano Living and now 100% of the Tobiano golf course, Ternier is looking forward to the collaboration of both operations. Tobiano is already recognized as an award-winning golf course, so other than a few minor upgrades, Ternier would like to grow that title as well as expand other areas within Tobiano.
“I look forward to a prosperous collaboration and partnership between Tobiano Living and Tobiano Golf for many years to come.”
Over the next three years, residents and visitors of Tobiano will begin to see additional community amenities and services added to the area. Some of the facilities to be added are a village centre, tennis courts, pickleball courts, community gardens and additional walking paths. As for now, the main priority for the golf course will be the opening of a new hotel.
"The process of determining the best location for our first hotel, the hotel branding, and the selection of an architect is already underway," said Ternier.
“We already have such great amenities at Tobiano, including Bruker Marina and the golf course itself, and these additions will make both the golf experience and Tobiano living even more appealing than it already is.”
