Par 66 layouts often get dismissed before golfers even pull into the parking lot, but Big Cedar Point Golf and Country Club in Innisfil earns a second look on its own terms. A members-only club on the western shore of Lake Simcoe, it plays to a format built around shorter holes — expect a card dominated by par 3s and par 4s, with the emphasis placed squarely on precision, course management, and touch around the greens rather than raw distance off the tee.
Innisfil sits in Simcoe County, roughly an hour north of Toronto, where the lakeshore geography shapes everything — breezes off Lake Simcoe can quietly turn a straightforward iron shot into a genuine decision, and the light on the water gives the property a distinct seasonal character that Ontario's cottage-country regulars know well.
As a private club, Big Cedar Point serves a tight-knit membership looking for a relaxed, familiar atmosphere away from the city. The shorter format makes it accessible across handicap levels while still rewarding players who bring a sharp short game.
