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 for the money
Pretty nice course with some nasty sand traps. There were lots of people on the course but all were friendly and the speed of play was pretty good.
Great track conveniently located for Grey Bruce residents
Course was in good shape and COVID protocol was easy to follow with check in and cart.
One suggestion is separate line for golf check in and beverage sales. We were slowed a bit to start our back nine due to the queue
golf day
It was an excellent day at the course the weather was great and the corvid 19 precautions in place did not effect the golfing much check in was smooth and golfing was good
Surprise
It is a very good layout. Course was in overall great shape considering the shotgun opening.
Only negative was the group ahead. Extremely slow pace. A Marshall would have been nice to either move them along or remind them to allow faster groups to play through.
Great value country course
Some great holes set in a quiet country environment.
Course conditions such as fairway grass could be better but it’s good value for the price.
Considering COVID
No concerns at all. Staff all prepared. Busy day for them. Very smooth. Made my day
it was encouraging to see that most of the bare areas on the fairways are filling in nicely, and we were happy to hear that there are plans to put some grass seed on as well. And I was quite impressed that they've left the aerating to do later so that it didn't interfere with our golf game! Looking forward to getting back out there but probably not until next Spring, with the change in weather now
Patches
Nice day with some windy intervals.
Greens are in good shape but the fairways are very patchy. Expect to to roll the ball over to find some grass.
Hello. 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 Northern Dunes Golf Club another try in the near future.
This course has fallen in condition , fairways, bunkers and tee blocks need some serious TLC
We played in about 3 hours but the course needs some major TLC , fairways were winter rules , some green were burnt out and the tee blocks need some help .
Hello John. Thank you for taking the time to review the course and rate us. We are going to pass along your feedback to the staff so they can work to make changes. Thanks for visiting us!
It's okay
we've played this course many times this year; the tees and fairways have improved a bit but they're still not in good condition and we frequently had to roll our ball onto a bit of grass instead of hitting it off dirt, where there should have been grass. But the hot deal certainly made it worthwhile
Good day by all
Course is starting to dry out due to extreme heat. Greens in nice shape. Enjoyed our day for the money...
great hot deal
the greens at Northern Dunes are in great condition but the rest of the course is still in pretty rough shape. Almost every time we got to our ball, we had to lift it onto a piece of grass because it was sitting in a bare patch. I know it's hard to maintain the course when they don't have a watering system, so I hope we get lots of overnight rains to help the course get back to where it should be soon

Good day
Course was dry compared to all the courses around this area. Showed up half hour before tee time and staff let us go out right away. Greens in good condition but with amount of rain we had, thought they would have bit better. Overall a real good course for the fire rate deal...
