It would be absolutely tragic to destroy Rockway golf course (a classic parkland style course designed by the great Stanley Thompson). For better or worse, golf is played on 18 hole courses and removing 3 of the holes would ruin the classic, nearly 100-year-old, design.
I'm sure it will happen some day, but there is SO much other land available. Pave over Rockway Gardens if you want to destroy a bunch of giant trees and landscaping. At least the golf course provides revenue for the city, and outdoor recreation for thousands of people each year.
Or better yet, don't destroy Kitchener's rare green spaces and build higher density buildings in city owned parking lots and/or abandoned and run-down commercial buildings.
