Big Bay Point Golf Club

Private Club

This course was designed by Stanley Thompson and has inspired golfers since its inception. Perfect for beginners although don’t be fooled by the 2700 yards. Narrow mature tree lined fairways lead you into Thompson’s signature raised greens surrounded by grass mounds and bunkers. Big Bay Point challenges all levels of golfers.

In the late spring of 1926, Stanley Thompson, Canada’s famous pioneer course designer, helped build the 9-hole course. The beginnings of the course had already started a few years earlier when several local cottagers cleared many rocks from the farmland owned by one of them. First there were 3 holes, followed by 5 holes the next year and then Thompson was hired to take over and design the whole layout. The way the greens fit into the mounds at Big Bay Point is a characteristic feature of the Thompson courses. The 9 hole course is easy to traverse and is a great place for beginners and for avid golfers. It plays longer than you think.
