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.

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 .
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
We appreciate you taking the time to review the course and rate us. We are going to pass on your feedback to the teams in charge so they can work to make changes. Thanks for visiting Northern Dunes Golf Club. We hope to see you again in the future.
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...
simply put....wonderful day of golf on a very nice coutse
new carts certainly adds some clsss to the course.. thanks for the upgrade
Northern Dunes
Have played many times at this course. Brand new carts this year. Reliable and very fast. Course suffered from last years dry conditions and fairways and tees are patchy. Greens are in very good condition. I have played there 3 times in the last 10 days. Will play again.
carts
finally upgraded their carts. very nice.
course was in great condition although a little wet in some areas which can't be helped.
overall a great round of golf with a wonderful lunch
Outstanding and difficult
I’ve played this course three times this spring and each was better than the previous round. Wet conditions still make the course play very long on several holes although it is quickly drying up. The greens are outstanding although the bunkers can make par nearly an afterthought. The staff and greenskeeper are very friendly. Try the hot dogs !

Rough shape
Just played the front nine in cool weather and some rain. The greens were in very good condition. But the fairways were not. Just patches and clumps of grass on the fairways affecting roll and subsequent shots.

Hello, thank you for taking the time to review Northern Dunes Golf Club. 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.
Good layout - lacking some grass
Back 9 in good condition but front 9 has several holes with fairways lacking grass. Both tee boxes and fairways need some cutting
A tale of 2 nines
We started on the back nine and the course was in very good shape. When we made the turn the conditions of the fairways drastically changed and made finding a decent lie in the fairway difficult. Greens remained nice throughout the course which was a saving grace. No cart person on a Saturday afternoon either.
Northern Dunes golf course
We were told to grab any golf cart, but every single cart had been used before and every single one was dirty, with garbage left over from previous round the day before. Also the dew from the roof dropped down on the seat when you attempted to move the cart. Went back to the clubhouse and asked for a towel to wipe the carts and they came out with a broom and dust pan. All the golf carts had a lot of dust on them all around, even the cart windshield. If they weren’t down you could hardly see out of them.
The course was in very poor shape on the first nine holes. You had to clean and lift on every fairway so you had grass under your ball.
If I had to pay full fare I would have been extremely disappointed and would never go back.
carts
like the course. great pace as not very busy. the golf carts are horrible. This is the second time I have made this comment.
carts are dirty, always. Todays cart had garbage in the cubical, covered with pine needles and wet. Set material on most of carts are torn. Not a good start to a round of golf
Tough to grow grass on sand !!!
Front nine was terrible. No Fairways, had to find a patch of weeds on the fairway to place the ball on. Crazy to think they would not say something. Just insane front nine. Back was fair, was 1,000 times better than front.
Would not be happy if I didn't get a hot deal and pay only $35..
