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.

Northern Dunes Fall golf
Tough layout that I enjoy with great clubhouse staff today and the only downside was wetness of course from the heavy rains

Great Course, Poor Greenskeeping
While the course has a pretty good layout there is a clear lack of attention to detail or investment. Greens are way to firm as the ball bounces off like it hit a rock. For how firm they are the roll of the greens is only okay.
We appreciate you taking the time to review the course and rate us. We will make sure to pass on your feedback to our team. Thank you for visiting Northern Dunes Golf Club, and we hope to see you again in the future.
Hidden gen on the Bruce Peninsula
My wife and I played this beauty during our vacation in Grey and Bruce counties.
We enjoyed the links style layout. Good variety of hole layout. Greens tended to roll true.
We will definitely be back!

Great day out
Pros
Interesting layout, really enjoyed it.
Good value for the money, but we got it on a hot deal for $39 with cart.
Challenging in spots, but not too daunting.
Cons
Some of the grass on a couple of the fairways needed to be cut.
A few dead patches on a couple of the greens.
Grabbing a burger after the front 9, was told it would take 5 mins, but ended up taking 25 mins and it wasn't busy.
Overall, really enjoyed the day and would definitely come back.
Nice coursewhen it has water.
The course was in very good shape. Very disappointed in the club house staff. Dismissive and abrupt to almost the point of rudenss.
This is a very good course depending on conditions.
