The St. Marys Golf & Country Club is located on the edge of St. Marys, Ontario, a small picturesque community of almost 7,000 residents where the Thames River meets Trout Creek. The club officially opened on July 1, 1932, after the formation of the club in October 1931 and the subsequent purchase of the property we are on today. While the grounds were initially surveyed in 1927 by Fred Lofft and Stanley Thompson, a shortage of local golfer (only 30 in town) delayed the next steps. Only a nine-hole golf course at the start, green fees for 18 holes were 50 cents on weekdays, 75 cents on weekends, or one dollar to play all day. Under private ownership since 1993, the golf course has been continuously upgraded. In 1994, we rounded out the golf course to the 18 superlative holes we have today. Designed by David Moote, of Moote & Associates, the new layout utilizes the rolling St. Marys topography and maintains the degree of difficulty of the original course, by adding two ponds to the two creeks already in play on the golf course. We have upgraded the golf course into one of the best semi-private facilities in Southwestern Ontario by adding paved cart paths, planting more than 500 trees, building a waterfall feature, redesigning the 17th green and 18th fairway, and regularly updating sand traps. The golf course has been highly rated in numerous newspaper and magazine articles, has become the home course for the Canadian Baseball Hall of Fame. We have proudly hosted many Ontario Golf Association (OGA) events, including a qualifier tournament for the Ontario Amateur.
