420 with CNW – Ontario Golf Course Set to be the First Marijuana Themed Course in Canada

Rolling Greens, a golf course found near Smith Falls in Ontario, is set to take the “green” in its name to a whole new level by becoming the first golf course to allow cannabis smoking on its grounds.

Gordon Weiske, the Director of Entertainment at the golf course, revealed that while other people were clamoring to acquire licenses to grow or retail cannabis, Rolling Greens decided to be different and become a golf course with a cannabis theme.

He says that they decided to allow golfers to enjoy cannabis while playing the game. While strict rules prevent the consumption of cannabis in public, golf courses are free to make their own rules. Besides, smoking is allowed on golf courses, and cannabis smoking is usually allowed in places where one can smoke a cigarette.

The management of Rolling Greens therefore decided to take a different approach from other golf courses that banned smoking marijuana on their grounds. Rolling Greens felt that there was no reason to ban cannabis smoking if cigarette smokers are allowed on the property.

Currently, there is no cannabis sold at the golf course, so users have to carry their own cannabis products if they wish to enjoy cannabis at the golf course.

Rolling Greens doesn’t just want to be known as a golf club where one can smoke weed. They have set their eyes on bigger things.

For example, they intend to set up an age-restricted entertainment park where a mini-putt, drive-in movie theatre and virtual reality games will be available.

Such a facility will be easy for them to create because the golf course sits on a massive 164 acres of land. Space is certainly not one of the problems they face.

The golf course also has plans to partner with cannabis producers who will then set up their own sponsored theme on one of the holes of the golf course.

It should be noted that this golf club hasn’t always been called Rolling Greens. This name was introduced as part of a rebrand of the facility after it was acquired by new owners. Previously, the golf course was called Lombard Glen Golf and Country Club.

In effect, Rolling Greens is approximately two months old. The club intends to host a soft launch on April 20 to give clients and fans a chance to sample what the facility has to offer. Bigger launch events will also be held over the coming months.

Canopy Rivers Inc. (TSX.V: RIV) (OTC: CNPOF) and ChineseInvestors.com (OTCQB: CIIX) congratulate Rolling Greens upon their trailblazing activities that are widening the boundaries of the cannabis industry while creating new opportunities.
