Public meetings over the redevelopment of Harvest Hills Golf Course in the city's northwest are heating up and residents are demanding to know what they can expect from the new owners.

On Sunday, some residents neighbouring the course said they were surprised by the news even though many were notified about the sale by letter.

Some say they bought their properties specifically because they backed onto the course.

On Tuesday evening, concerned residents packed into a meeting hoping to speak with someone from the company, Cedarglen Homes.

A consultant was on hand to answer their questions and many people were upset that company officials didn't show up for the session.

“When I bought here, I paid more for my property, more in property taxes. It was always going to be that way,” said Joe Laratta, an area resident.

The development manager for the project, QuantumPlace Developments Ltd., has not submitted a residential expansion application with the City of Calgary yet.

“Cedarglen Homes builds singles, duplexes, townhouses and multi-family,” said Chris Ollenberger, Managing Principal of QuantumPlace Developments Ltd. “They can do a wide gamut of residential development.”

Another meeting was held on Wednesday in the clubhouse and angry residents showed up in droves demanding answers.

"It's a severe kick. It's a kick for our family, it’s a kick for our community and it's a kick financially. We’re in a retirement age or getting close to a retirement age and now we have to start thinking, okay, we’re short a hundred grand now and what are we going to do about this? We’re going to have to work a lot longer and a lot harder," said Wanda Bertrand, homeowner.

Ollenberger is leading the consultation and told CTV News that the redevelopment would mean homes for 2000 to 3000 new residents and would likely include townhomes, duplexes and single family homes.

"Once the plans are conceptualized and formed and everybody’s had a chance to go through them, maybe there’s buffer strips, maybe there’s parks, maybe there’s a lake behind their house. Once they know that answer, what they feel they lost in property value recovers fairly quickly," said Ollenberger.

The developer is required to apply for rezoning of the area if it hopes to build anything on the property and construction could begin within the next two years.

Another open house is planned for Thursday at 6:00 p.m.
