Heidi Raulin
We went for the Boxing Day dinner and everything was perfect. Our server Shannon (?) was awesome, the food was delicious and well timed. Everything was perfect and Shannon made things extra special. Thank you!
Terry Stevens
We have been there twice in the last couple of months. I had the Haddock and chips both times. The best in the Sault in my opinion. Both times I started with their soup of the day and both times they were excellent.
Anthony Carchidi

The steak, the chicken, all the food. Delicious. One of my favorite restaurants and awesome staff.
Highly recommended!
Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to Your Questions
Are reservations required?
Reservations are highly recommended to ensure availability and to secure your preferred tee time. While walk-ins are welcome, they are subject to availability and may experience longer wait times, especially during peak hours. Making a reservation guarantees your spot and helps us provide you with the best possible golfing experience. You can easily book your tee time online or by contacting our pro shop directly.
How many golfers are allowed at one time?
At our golf course, we accommodate groups of up to four golfers at a time. This allows for an optimal pace of play and ensures that all players can enjoy their round comfortably. Whether you're planning a solo outing, a twosome, or a full foursome, we welcome you to tee off and experience the beauty of our course. If you have a larger group, we recommend contacting our pro shop in advance to arrange tee times that best suit your needs.
Is there a driving range?
Yes, we offer a driving range for golfers looking to hone their skills or warm up before hitting the course. Our driving range provides a spacious and comfortable environment for practicing your swing, whether you're a beginner or an experienced golfer. With a variety of targets and distances to aim for, our driving range is perfect for refining your technique and building confidence in your game. We also offer rental clubs and balls for your convenience, so you can focus on improving your performance. Whether you're looking to improve your long game or just unwind with some practice swings, our driving range is the perfect place to do it.
What's the dress code?
Our golf course maintains a smart casual dress code to ensure a pleasant and respectful environment for all players. While we don't require specific attire, we do ask that players refrain from wearing jeans, cut-offs, or athletic shorts. Collared shirts and golf-appropriate attire are preferred. Additionally, golf shoes or sneakers with soft spikes are recommended to help maintain the course's condition. We appreciate your cooperation in upholding our dress code standards.
