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.

not happy
well I would have liked to know the greens had just been aerated and I would have played somewhere else. To top it off the back nine was closed due to that reason so we had to play the front twice!! We came off the front nine then had to wait and the pace of play was a lot slower due to the fact that we were blended into people starting there rounds. I drove along way to play here and golf now or the golf course itself should have a side note about aeration and closures of half the course. This made my wife and I very unhappy. Good thing it wasn't to expensive but that really shouldn't matter. that is all
Course in excellent shape
Played course again, much better second time around food / beverage cart around lots . Course in excellent condition .
Excellent greens
The course was in good shape. Greens were excellent. If you don't stay on the short grass you're likely to lose your ball.
Well maintained course
Course was in good shape, pace was excellent , bar & food staff provided poor costumer service and quality food. 18 holes played not once did we see food & beverage cart! Thank goodness for polite booking staff they made up for lack elsewhere.
Great
This course is in the best shape it's been in 10 years. The staff was great, in fact the staff had some complimentary items for us after the round. Well worth the price.
Great northern Bruce peninsula course
A very enjoyable and fun course 20 minutes from Owen Sound. If you are in the area, make a stop and play this course.
great value as I remembered
course was in good shape and the staff very friendly. great value especially when booked with Golfnow.
Nice course
Nice course to play. Would have walked if the cart wasn't included as there was shady areas and treed.areas to walk through. Offers 4 tee boxes which allows for all levels of play. Sand traps were large but hard sand making them easy to hit out of.
Great shape
Greens and fairway in good shape. Beer is cold, the weather made the day.
Northern Dunes
Course was in great shape. Very challenging. Weather was excellent. Great day. hope to do it again.
Excellent Value
My wife and I recently retired in the area after having lived and golfed in the GTA for most of our lives. The course was in excellent shape considering the damage from the brutal winter on other courses. The course design fit into the area landscape and proved moderate challenge for both of us. The staff were extremely friendly which is commonplace the Bruce Peninsula. We would definitely play Northern Dunes again!
Great day at Northern Dunes
Went online in the morning of July 1st to see if by chance there was a good deal on golf and found a great deal at Northern Dunes. My wife, son and myself golfed 18 holes and had a fantastic day. Highly recommend this course!
This course is in its best shape ever...
I've played ND a lot but this is the best I've ever seen the course at this time of year. My son-in-law is bringing a group of his work friends up here next weekend, which is high praise from him. Not only did we have a great (and quick) round, he shot an Albatross (2) on the par-5 9th, draining a 5-iron from 205 yards. That's probably the only one I'll ever see in my lifetime!
Great value
My wife and had not played this course for 6 or 7 years and we were pleasantly surprised with all the improvements that have been made. We thou roughly enjoyed our game and will defiantly play there again and be telling our friends about it.
Great Day at the Dunes!
We had a great day playing Northern Dunes it is a challenging course. The course plays long with a good mix of long par 4's and ones more reasonable for the shorter hitters. I especially like the par threes all good holes with unique layouts. The greens were in very good shape rolled smooth and true. The fairways were very firm and a little sparse but not bad. If you get off the fairway you will be challenged with deep grass or sand. We paid $50 with a cart and it was a good value.
Good Course
I did not have any issue with this course. Game moved quickly. Both the sand traps and greens are in good condition.
Course itself is well maintained. I did not see much of the club house.
Good Round
Best shape I've seen this course in 10 yrs, great pace of play. Will be back.
Tough test and in great condition
Course is in great shape, greens rolling very true and hold nicely
good value
good greens and the sandtraps had real sand and were well maintained..pace of play was excellent on a Sunday afternoon..different tee blocks make it a friendly course for even high handicap golfers...only negative is a dusty gravel parking lot and dusty cartpaths.
