Norfolk Golf & Country Club sits in the rolling farmland of southwestern Ontario, near the town of Simcoe in Norfolk County. Stanley Thompson designed the course in 1929, during a prolific period when he was establishing himself as Canada's preeminent golf architect. The property takes advantage of natural elevation changes and wooded corridors typical of the region, with routing that moves through a mix of open and tree-lined holes. Thompson's design philosophy emphasized strategic variety and natural integration with the landscape. At Norfolk, he created a layout that rewards thoughtful course management rather than relying solely on length. The bunkering follows his characteristic style—bold, sculpted features that frame landing areas and greens while appearing to emerge organically from the terrain. The greens themselves feature subtle contours that demand careful approach play and reading. The "Alternate Tees" designation indicates a secondary set of tee markers that adjust the course's length and playing angles, offering members and guests flexibility in how they experience the layout. This is common at clubs with strong memberships seeking variety in daily play. Norfolk Golf & Country Club has served as a traditional private club for nearly a century, maintaining Thompson's design through the decades while adapting maintenance practices to modern standards. The course remains a regional example of Thompson's work from his early career, before his most celebrated projects at Banff, Jasper, and Capilano.
