Turkey Point Golf Club
About this course
Turkey Point Golf Club sits along the north shore of Lake Erie in Norfolk County, Ontario, approximately 90 minutes southwest of Toronto. The property occupies a distinctive stretch of elevated terrain above the lake, characterized by sandy soils and rolling topography that distinguishes it from the flatter farmland typical of much of southwestern Ontario. The club operates multiple courses on the property, with the original layout dating to the early 1970s. The courses at Turkey Point take advantage of the natural sand-based terrain, which provides firm playing conditions and allows for links-style turf management uncommon in inland Ontario. The routing moves through corridors of mature trees and across open, windswept ground, with elevation changes that offer views toward Lake Erie. The sandy soil composition creates good drainage and supports a playing style that rewards ground game and strategic positioning over purely aerial approaches. Turkey Point has served as a venue for provincial and regional amateur competitions, drawing players from across Ontario and neighboring provinces. The club maintains a reputation as a straightforward test of golf that emphasizes course management and accurate ball-striking rather than dramatic design features. The facility includes practice areas and a clubhouse that serves members and daily-fee players, reflecting its dual role as both a membership club and a public-access destination in the Lake Erie region.

Getting there
The journey to Turkey Point Golf Club begins at Toronto Pearson International (YYZ), roughly ninety minutes northwest of the property, or from Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport for those seeking a more intimate departure point closer to the downtown core. The drive south traces the arc of Lake Erie's northern shore, transitioning from the hum of the Greater Toronto Area into the gentle farmland and tobacco country of Norfolk County, where the landscape flattens and the air takes on a faint maritime quality. As Highway 24 descends toward the lakebluff, the road narrows and the canopy thickens, signaling arrival at one of Ontario's most storied and secluded golf retreats - a clifftop sanctuary where the game has been played in quiet reverence since 1922.
