About
Northern Dunes Golf Club is a 18-hole championship course that tumbles across the gently rolling landscape of Bruce Peninsula. The front nine lays across natural sand dunes and while the back nine's landscape required a bit more work, it manages to seamlessly blend with the surroundings. Steve Young, the course architect, incorporated the classic elements of a traditional Scottish links layout but he also wanted the course to have a thoroughly modern feel. The result is a challenging design featuring large greens and over 50 bunkers filled with natural sand strategically placed throughout. The prevailing northwest winds provide another tricky element. Northern Dunes G.C. is ideally situated less than 10 miles from Lake Huron and Sauble Beach and is accessible from all directions.

Good value
Older track with a couple of quirky holes but overall a scenic course with a decent layout. Greens are in good shape and putts roll nicely. Not overly long, so if you’re hitting your driver well you can make pars and sprinkle in a few birdies. Bunkers could use some sand, and you’ll want to avoid them for that reason. Food is great and the staff is friendly, and we always enjoy a relaxing round playing here without breaking the bank.
Great first day
My 2 boys got out their first time today ! They had a great time staff were great ! We will be back now that we purchased 2 memberships for them for junior golf !
Thanks
Spring Conditions
Early spring conditions. Grass just starting to grow. Greens still have aeration holes in them. Sand traps require maintenance.
Carts have "covid barriers" so two can share.
Nice to be out!
Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. We are sorry to see that your overall experience was anything short of 5 stars, but we hope you'll give us another try in the near future. Thanks for choosing Northern Dunes Golf Club.
