The Willows Residential Community and Golf Club, is a residential community in the Nutana Suburban Development Area in the city of Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. The Willows is south of the Circle Drive which is concurrent with Saskatchewan Highway 16. Its northern boundary is the CN Rail line and the former Cartwright Street right-of-way (the street was subsequently rerouted through the community as part of its development); to the east is Clarence Avenue and to the west is Lorne Avenue. The 36-hole Willows Golf & Country Club winds its way around the subdivision which when construction of homes began in 2004 became the city's first golf course community.[2] Home construction began almost immediately after the land for the subdivision and the golf course was annexed from the rural municipality of Corman Park No. 344, Saskatchewan.[1] The golf course, however, had been in operation for more than a decade before residential development began.

[edit] Transportation
Access to The Willows is via Cartwright Street from Lorne or Clarence avenues. An overpass over the CN rail line was built on Clarence in the mid-2000s to facilitate access, and access to the area was further enhanced with the construction of the Clarence Avenue and Circle Drive interchange which was completed in 2007. [3]
[edit] Layout
The roads are laid out in a court system styling. As of April 2008 only Cartwright Street and Cartwright Terrace had been assigned names. Future plans for the community show a further residential development on the west side of the golf course, accessed only from Lorne Avenue.[4]
[edit] Shopping
The nearest shopping to The Willows is the Stonegate Shopping Centre with Wal-Mart as an anchor to the north east of The Willows subdivision.
[edit] Recreation facilities

The area also has the German Canadian Club Concordia, a convention and banquet faclity at the corner of Cartwright Street and Lorne Avenue, although the land owned by the club was not annexed by the city and remains in the Corman Park municipality. The Willows is also the closest Saskatoon community to the Dakota Dunes Casino a few miles south of Saskatoon on Lorne Avenue.
