A successful bidder has been selected for the Terra Nova Golf Resort, located just west of Clarenville, allowing the mayor of nearby Port Blandford to breathe a sigh of relief. CBC News has learned that Dennis Vardy, a business owner in Clarenville, will take over the Terra Nova Golf Resort pending court approval, which is expected after the receiver meets with the owners of the private condo within the hotel and Parks Canada officials. BDO took control of the golf course early last November. The golf course employs 60 people, the majority of them on a seasonal basis; however, some employees work full time. Holloway believes there are about 100 spinoff jobs from the Terra Nova Golf Resort, which consists of an 80-room hotel, nine- and 18-hole golf courses, and several rental chalets.
