Aguasabon at Aguasabon Golf Club

Aguasabon Golf Club sits in Terrace Bay, a small community on the north shore of Lake Superior in northwestern Ontario. The course was designed by Howard Watson, a Canadian architect who worked primarily in Ontario during the mid-to-late twentieth century. The club serves the local community and visitors to this remote stretch of the Trans-Canada Highway, where golf courses are relatively sparse and the landscape is defined by the rugged Canadian Shield and the vast presence of Lake Superior.

The routing takes advantage of the natural topography characteristic of this region, with rock outcroppings, stands of boreal forest, and elevation changes that reflect the transition between the lake plain and the rising terrain inland. The setting offers views of the surrounding wilderness and, on certain holes, glimpses of Lake Superior itself. The course provides a straightforward test of golf suited to the climate and playing season of northern Ontario, where the window for golf is compressed into the warmer months.

Aguasabon serves both local members and traveling golfers exploring the Lake Superior Circle Tour or passing through the region. The club functions as a community gathering place in an area where recreational amenities are limited by geography and population. The course reflects the practical tradition of Canadian municipal and community golf, offering accessible play in a distinctive northern landscape.
