Ridge Course- (Old)

Nottawasaga sits in Simcoe County, roughly an hour north of Toronto in the rolling terrain of Ontario's Georgian Triangle — a region where the Canadian Shield begins to push through the soil and the landscape gets genuinely hilly by Ontario standards. That topography gives any course here real elevation change to work with, and the name "Ridge Course" suggests the designers leaned into it.

The "Old" designation tells its own small story. It implies a newer routing exists alongside this one, meaning the property has grown over time — the kind of evolution that tends to happen at resort or semi-private facilities that expand to meet demand. An original layout often carries a different personality than what comes after: a bit rougher around the edges, more rooted in the land's natural contours, with character accumulated over years of play.

This part of Ontario draws golfers from the Greater Toronto Area looking for a weekend escape, and the season runs from roughly late April through October before the Simcoe County winters close things down. Expect tree-lined fairways, some genuine undulation, and the unhurried pace that comes with getting out of the city.
