Poplars Golf Club Old

Tweed sits in Hastings County, about halfway between Toronto and Ottawa in the limestone and granite country of the Canadian Shield's southern fringe. The landscape here is classic eastern Ontario: mixed hardwood forests, rocky outcroppings, and the kind of rolling terrain that tends to produce interesting golf without anyone having to try too hard. The Moira River runs through the area, and the broader region draws visitors for its outdoor character rather than resort polish.

Poplars Golf Club's "Old" designation suggests this is the original layout at a facility that has grown over time — a course that earned its place before any expansion arrived. Clubs that carry that distinction often have a lived-in quality: mature trees (the name hints at poplar-lined corridors), settled fairways, and greens that have developed personality over decades of play.

For golfers passing through the Highway 7 corridor, Poplars represents the kind of community-rooted club that keeps rural Ontario's golf culture alive — unpretentious, affordable, and almost certainly more interesting to walk than its regional profile might suggest.
