The Willows

The Willows is a gorgeous residential community surrounded by a scenic golf club and is the city of Saskatoon’s southernmost neighbourhood. With construction largely limited by the golf course, the current population is almost 800 people, with an average home price of just over $698,000, reflective of the desirability and demand, when available.

This neighbourhood is south of 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; 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.

Home construction began almost immediately after the land for the subdivision and the golf course was annexed from the rural municipality of Corman Park. The golf course, however, had been in operation for more than a decade before residential development began.

The roads are laid out in a court system style. Plans for the community show a further residential development on the west side of the golf course, accessed only from Lorne Avenue.

The community's layout does not allow for the construction of schools. As of 2010, the nearest schools are located in Avalon and Adelaide/Churchill, some distance to the north, although schools are expected to eventually be constructed in Stonebridge just to the northeast of The Willows.
