Getting there
# Getting There
Baxter Creek Golf Club sits in the quiet countryside near Fraserville, Ontario, accessible most directly via Toronto Pearson International Airport (YYZ), roughly two hours' drive southeast through the rolling farmland and forest of eastern Ontario. The route traces Highway 401 before branching onto quieter provincial roads that wind through the rural landscape, where the urban sprawl gradually yields to open fields and stands of mature timber. For those with access to private aviation, the region is served by several smaller airstrips, though the club itself can advise on the most convenient touchdown point for a seamless arrival. The final miles unfold along country roads that speak to the club's secluded character - a deliberate retreat from the city, where the approach itself becomes part of the experience of arrival.
