OUR STORY

Exceptional vision

Founded in 1925 by a group of local visionaries, Saugeen Golf Course stands as a testament to their vision and community spirit. Recognizing the growing popularity of golf, they established a premier golfing destination in Port Elgin and Southampton. Hiring renowned golf architect Stanley Thompson, they crafted the initial nine holes with meticulous attention to detail, setting the stage for a Legacy of excellence.

Expanding their vision over the decades, first with the addition of the Sunset nine in 1956 and the Sunrise nine in 1996 solidified our reputation for exceptional golf and camaraderie for players of all levels. As our centennial celebrations unfold, the enduring legacy of our founders guides our team into our next century with pride and a reverence for the past.

A passion to play

The game of golf is more than hitting a little white ball around a field. It’s about getting up early and enjoying a quiet morning before meeting your friends for a game and some great banter and sharing our passion for playing the world’s greatest game.

There are many things to celebrate about golf at Saugeen, but it’s our people, our members, our guests, and our team that really make this place special.
