A LEGACY OF GOLFING EXCELLENCE

Our History

Golf has been played longer and more continuously in Peterborough than anywhere else in North America. The defining moment in the club's origin was a Mixed-Ball Tournament held on Victoria Day weekend in 1897.

Finally, golf was played on grass greens as it ought to be in Peterborough. The Club began its first season on a four-hole course on Burnham Point, a spit of land that juts into Little Lake, at the heart of what was then the Town of Peterborough.

A TIMELESS TRADITION OF GOLF

Our Legacy

In the 1898 season, the Club moved to Auburn Hill, adjacent to the Trent Canal, which was then under construction in this section. The Club never moved again, although the course and Clubhouse changed many times. For the first twenty years, the layout of the 2,800-yard nine-hole course never changed.

In 1917, the course acquired the land known to most today as the 8th and 11th holes. The Club also acquired the Beechwood property to the north and doubled its holdings to about 110 acres.

A GOLFING TRADITION SINCE 1897

A Tradition Unmatched

Stanley Thompson, the premier golf course architect of the 1920's and holder of the course record at the Peterborough Golf and Country Club, was engaged, 1929 - 31, to design an 18-hole layout. The 6,300-yard course had all the Thompson trademarks for strategic golf.

With close to 1100 active members today in all membership categories, the Peterborough Golf & Country Club is the #1 place where families, couples, and individuals can enjoy the first-class amenities that truly set our club apart.

A LEGACY OF COMMUNITY AND GOLF

Corporate Social Responsibility

Rooted in a strong tradition of corporate social responsibility, our club has been a cornerstone of the Kawartha region for over a century. We continue to uphold this legacy by actively contributing to local initiatives, adapting to the evolving needs of our members, and embracing sustainable practices to ensure a greener future for the sport of golf.
