Loyalist Country Club (Old)

Bath sits on the north shore of Lake Ontario, just west of Kingston in the Limestone City corridor — one of Ontario's quieter stretches of golf country, where the Canadian Shield gives way to flatter, more agricultural land and the lake keeps conditions milder than much of the province. The region has a modest but genuine golf culture rooted in local clubs rather than resort tourism, and Loyalist Country Club has been part of that fabric for decades.

The "Old" designation suggests this is the original layout at Loyalist, a course that predates whatever expansion or second track the club eventually added. That kind of founding course tends to carry the institutional memory of a place — the holes members grew up playing, the design compromises and happy accidents that accumulate over generations of small tweaks.

As a private country club in a small Ontario town, Loyalist almost certainly serves a tight-knit membership for whom the course is as much about community as competition. Expect a layout shaped more by the flat lakeshore terrain than by dramatic elevation, where positioning and local knowledge matter most.
