Construction is set to begin on a new Doug Carrick designed golf course in Canada, with ‘The Dodger’ at Hallō Nelson in British Columbia scheduled to open in 2027. The new 18-hole, par-70 championship course is located on a picturesque 130-acre plateau overlooking Kootenay Lake and surrounded by the Selkirk Mountains, making it a stunning addition to the Canadian golf landscape. This course will be the first to be managed by Troon in Canada, adding to its prestige and appeal.
Doug Carrick, a renowned Canadian course designer, is known for creating golf courses that stand the test of time while providing an exceptional player experience. His design for The Dodger at Hallō Nelson promises to be no exception. Carrick expressed his excitement about the project, highlighting the captivating experience of working with the team behind Hallō Nelson to bring their vision to life. The course is expected to feature dramatic elevation changes, stunning views, and engaging golf shots, making it a must-visit destination for golfers in Western Canada.
The Dodger at Hallō Nelson will breathe new life into the former course that opened in 1920, becoming a cornerstone summer recreational asset and community legacy in Nelson. With Troon’s expertise in service and operations, the mountain golf course will be a key feature of Hallō Nelson, complementing the region’s outdoor and winter alpine activities. The integration of Troon-managed hospitality, including a new clubhouse, restaurants, retail outlets, accommodations, and mountain homes, will enhance the overall experience for visitors and residents alike.
Jim McLaughlin, Division President of TCS, a Troon company, emphasized the potential of The Dodger at Hallō Nelson to become a top golf destination in Canada. The collaboration between Hallō properties and Troon aims to create a flagship property for Western Canada, combining a stunning Carrick-designed course with Troon’s operational excellence. The $500 million master-planned community surrounding The Dodger will offer exceptional residences and amenities, further enhancing Nelson’s charm and appeal.
The strategic location of The Dodger at Hallō Nelson, close to the Canada-U.S. border with convenient air access, makes it an attractive destination for golf enthusiasts. The development team anticipates high interest from buyers of The First Homes, a collection of fully-furnished townhomes overlooking the first fairway of the course. Ownership of these homes will also grant access to other Troon-managed courses worldwide through the Troon Advantage program, adding value for residents and golfers alike.
Construction of the first stage of the Hallō Nelson master plan community is set to begin this year, with fully furnished four-bedroom First Homes starting at $1.95 million.
