Woodside Greens Golf Club

Simcoe sits in Norfolk County in southwestern Ontario, a region of tobacco farms, turkey operations, and long flat stretches of agricultural land running down toward Lake Erie. It's not the Muskoka cottage belt or the Bruce Peninsula — this is working-country Ontario, understated and practical, and the golf here tends to reflect that same character.

A par-67 layout tells you something useful before you ever set foot on the property: this is a course built around short, strategic holes rather than long-haul endurance. Expect a card heavy with par 3s and shorter par 4s where placement and touch matter more than distance, and where a good short game will carry you further than a hot driver.

Woodside Greens reads like the kind of club that serves its community well — a place where locals play regularly, pace is relaxed, and the game stays accessible. For visitors passing through Norfolk County, it offers a reasonable afternoon of golf without pretense, which is often exactly what the region calls for.
