Tee Time Reservations
Golfers have a 14 day advanced booking privilege. Tee times can be booked online through Tee-On or through our Pro Shop at 705-789-1000. When booking tee times, you are asked to provide the name of each player in the group, a phone number and a valid credit card number which secures your tee time reservation.
It’s strongly recommended that golfers arrive at least 15 minutes prior to their tee off time. Late arrivals forfeit their tee time and will be accommodated where possible.

Course Closing Hours

If players are unlikely to finish the round prior to dark, then play and cart rentals are denied. We do however encourage all players to be off the course prior to darkness to prevent an accident or injury.

Lightning safety
Be sure to follow these suggestions to keep yourself safe during the golfing season.
If lightning strikes, get off the course IMMEDIATELY
If you are far from shelter, find a dense wooden area. Take appropriate shelter when you can count 30 seconds or less between lightning and thunder. Remain sheltered for 30 minutes after you hear the last roll of thunder. Avoid being the highest point in an open area. Swinging a club or holding an umbrella can make you the tallest object and a target for a lightning strike.
