For golf enthusiasts visiting Niagara-on-the-Lake, few experiences are as memorable as a round at the historic Niagara-on-the-Lake Golf Club. Located along the scenic shores of Lake Ontario and just minutes from Blairpen House Country Inn, this remarkable course offers a unique blend of sporting tradition, stunning views, and relaxed charm.

Ontario’s Oldest Golf Course

Established in 1875, the Niagara-on-the-Lake Golf Club is recognized as the oldest golf course in Ontario and one of the oldest surviving golf clubs in North America. Rich in heritage and beautifully maintained, the course continues to welcome golfers from around the world seeking a truly distinctive playing experience.

Originally founded by John Geale Dickson, the club began as a modest nine-hole course closely connected to the historic Queen’s Royal Hotel, which once hosted travelling golfers visiting the region. By 1881, Dickson’s brother Robert Dickson became the club’s first captain, helping establish the traditions and organization that continue to shape the club today.

Experience Golf with a View

Today, visitors can enjoy a relaxed yet refined golf experience while taking in sweeping waterfront scenery and the historic character that makes Niagara-on-the-Lake so special. The course’s walkable layout, mature trees, and beautifully kept greens appeal to golfers looking for an enjoyable pace of play rather than a rushed modern resort atmosphere.

Guests staying at Blairpen House Country Inn are ideally situated to enjoy the course, with the golf club located only minutes away in the heart of Old Town Niagara-on-the-Lake. Before or after a round, visitors can explore the surrounding downtown area filled with boutique shopping, local cafés, art galleries, and lakeside walking paths.
