Seguin Valley Golf Course
A Magnificent Marriage of Nature and Golf Awaits
Seguin Valley Golf Course is a rare-blend of a course that blends exhilarating holes that make you want to dive into the challenge with picturesque views forcing you to take just a moment to enjoy them. It also boasts a brand-new club house whose design takes a back seat to no one. With its immaculate grounds and lake front views, it’s easy to see why Seguin Valley Golf Course is known as one of Parry Sound’s premier golf facilities.
A spectacular , 18-hole, course located five miles south of downtown Parry Sound, Ontario complements the contours created by the geography of the Canadian Shield. Rather than attempt to completely tame the landscape, Seguin Valley incorporates its rugged beauty into the design. Golfers who play the course will experience fairways that twist and turn their way between woods marshes, through fields, and—in the case of the signature Hole 7—over a lake, even while admiring the views of wind-blown pine and rocky outcroppings thrusting from the earth for which the region is known.
The Wedding garden clubhouse is available for receptions, reunions, family outings and business events. For more information call 1-866-826-4080.
Manitou Ridge
Located just a 20 minute drive from Parry Sound on the shores of beautiful Lake Manitouwabing, the Ridge at Manitou boasts an 18 hole golf course designed by Thomas McBroom. The layout is one of Thomas McBroom’s best, flowing nicely from hole-to-hole. It’s challenging but fair. What people like is the fact that there’s separation between holes, so you don’t always see the next hole which creates the illusion that you’re really on your own.
Manitou Ridge began as a vision shared by a group of Manitouwabing Lake cottagers several years ago: they foresaw a golf course with the finest of facilities blending harmoniously with the nature that attracted them to cottage in Parry Sound in the first place. When their collective vision was realized, the result was something special indeed. The course is hewn out of the Canadian Shield and flows through rock, forest, and meadowland. Playing over 6,800 yards from the back tees, the Ridge is best described as challenging enough for accomplished golfers, yet forgiving enough for novices.
Only a quick flight – from wherever you are. With a state-of-the-art float plane, guests can avoid the traffic and experience more of the award-winning golf Manitou Ridge is known for.
Parry Sound Golf Club
For those who want to immerse themselves in a sense of history, there’s no better place than Parry Sound Golf and Country Club, which was founded as a 9-hole course in 1929. Thomas McBroom designed a new course in 1982 to replace the original, carving 18 spectacular holes from the Pre-Cambrian Shield to create a course perfectly suited to entire a new century even as the Club fondly preserves it traditions.
This Parry Sound course is very tight, only 6,000 yards from the tips, but the club says it’s the best 6,000 yards you’ll ever play. With a premium on accuracy, the course tests every club in one’s bag. It’s a definite challenge—one usually associated with championship length courses.
The Rock
No golf course in Parry Sound screams Cottage Country louder than The Rock on Lake Joe. The course’s very name hints at how greatly it has been defined by the granite of the rugged Canadian Shield for which the region is famed.
The course was built in 2004, and thanks in large part to the amount in which rock outcroppings came into play was notoriously challenging. Extensive renovations in 2007—to the tune of $6 million— saw the six most difficult holes reimagined to make it a softer, fairer course. The result is a more playable course, yet one which retains the atmospheric elements for which it was named.
Two holes exemplify what the Rock is all about: The 10th hole, a short par 4, has fantastic scenery and a huge rock outcropping. In the autumn the trees behind the hole are spectacular with flaming red leaves. The 14th hole is even more dramatic—it has a crazy cliff that offers a view that’s just unreal, especially in October when the leaves turn.
