Golf · 18-Hole Public Course

Eighteen holes,
carved from the forest.

A three-star Golf Digest championship course set into mature northern hardwood, with rolling terrain, water, tight doglegs and four sets of tees. Open to the public from mid-May through early October.

The Course

Open fairways ease you in. Tree-lined corridors, bunkers and water ask for a little more. Four tee boxes mean a scratch golfer and a first-timer can play the same round and both have a good day.

Golf at Thunder Bay

A rhythmic round from the first tee to the eighteenth.

The routing follows the land rather than fighting it: open holes give way to tree-lined ones, doglegs bend around mature timber, and water comes into play just often enough to keep you honest. Yardage stakes at 200, 150 and 100 make club selection simple, and every tee box offers a different look at the same hole.
