Somerhill Golf Club

Par 64 courses occupy a particular niche in Canadian golf — demanding enough to reward a real swing, relaxed enough that a weekend round doesn't eat your entire afternoon. Somerhill Golf Club in Tiverton, Ontario sits comfortably in that space, offering an 18-hole layout built around shorter par 4s and a collection of par 3s that put a premium on iron play and course management rather than raw distance off the tee.

Tiverton is a small community on the eastern shore of Lake Huron in Bruce County, a stretch of Ontario defined by agricultural flatlands giving way to the lake's broad horizon. The region draws visitors to its beaches, the Bruce Peninsula to the north, and a quietly thriving local golf scene that serves both residents and cottagers passing through during the summer months.

Without a driver as the dominant tool, Somerhill rewards golfers who can shape shots and control trajectory — the kind of course where a precise 8-iron matters more than a 300-yard bomb, and where players of most skill levels can settle in and enjoy a genuinely competitive round.
