Parry Sound Golf and Country Club

Ontario, Canada

Parry Sound Golf & Country Club is an 18-hole course designed by Thomas McBroom and completed in 1982, replacing the original 9-hole facility established in 1929. Located on the shores of Georgian Bay near McDougall, Ontario, the course measures just under 6,000 yards from the back tees, offering a compact layout that belies its challenge. Despite its modest yardage, the course demands precision and accuracy, requiring golfers to use every club in their bag strategically. Large hazards threaten nearly every hole, making a conservative approach essential to scoring well. The terrain and setting along Georgian Bay's shores provide an attractive natural backdrop to the playing experience. The course features hole #18 as a notable finishing hole, with its approach and green overlooking the fairways bar and grill. The McBroom design emphasizes shot-making skill and course management over pure distance, appealing to golfers who value technical challenge and accuracy over length.
