Last Thursday, we proudly hosted the Northern Golf Association’s Centennial Celebration & inaugural Northern Ontario Golf Hall of Fame Induction at Idylwylde Golf & Country Club!

We’re fortunate to have so many great supporters throughout our region, and after reflecting on the past 100 years together, we know the future of golf in Northern Ontario is in great hands.

Thank you to everyone who joined us for this milestone, and congratulations to our Northern Ontario Golf Hall of Fame class.

Things are coming together at our newest member club! We can't wait to see the finished product.

Hydroseeding is a planting method that sprays a mixture of grass seed, water, mulch, and fertilizer onto prepared soil. The mulch helps keep the seeds in place as they germinate, while also protecting the soil from erosion.

This phase brought new life to the landscape and brings our vision that much closer to reality. Each stage reflects the care and craftsmanship behind the course. And we couldn’t have done it without our team.
