Sleepy Hollow Country Club 3.85

Two fellows stood at the back of what is our 9th. green on a summer's day in 1958 overlooking the meadow which we now know as the 18th. fairway. One turned to the other and commented” that is a nice sleepy little hollow.” Their golf club had a name.

Those two gentlemen, James Johnstone Sr. and Bert Turcotte were already in the midst of distinguished careers in golf. Ultimately sharing in honors with induction to either the Ontario Golf Hall of Fame,winning Canadian Professional Golf Championships or successful developers of other golf courses in this part of the world.

From those days, the club has continued to prosper and evolve into a respected private golf club catering to the needs of a diverse and active membership, while providing space for community and private events.

Today the course still rests peacefully in a park like setting, mature trees, rolling fairways and small undulating greens. Seven holes remain virtually untouched from the original design. The others lengthened and improved with an eye to protecting the beauty and original character.
