Happy Days for area golfers. The courses have been opened by the government once again! Physical distancing is a priority with the Covid-19 crisis still a very real threat. However, if we are careful, we can get out on the courses. The weatherman is forecasting some warmer weather so it looks like we are ready to start the golfing season.
If you are an avid golfer but unfortunately are not yet in a position to go south for 6 months, especially this year with all the travel restrictions, Chatham-Kent is the place for you. You can enjoy a lengthy golf season, be safe and in you own home.You may love the seasons but the area you live in may not be the best to enjoy golfing as much as you would like. We in Chatham-Kent have the answer! Chatham-Kent is located in the middle of the Great Lakes and because of it's unique geography, experiences very mild temperatures. Here in Southwestern Ontario we are often referred to as the Banana Belt of Ontario. This allows for longer golfing seasons, usually 10 months of the year, a welcome addition to many areas whose seasons are short lived.There are 10 Chatham-Kent area Golf Courses ranging from Public to Semi- Private and each individual course is uniquely designed with water traps and beautifully groomed fairways that require varying degrees of expertise.
There is something for everyone, from the beginner to the skilled player. The Courses have fully licensed clubhouses with menus that incorporate many of the local produce and other flavors of the region. We have many local Wineries and Micro Breweries whose fares are included on some of the menus. Many feature patios which overlook the greens making that 19th hole a pleasurable way to end the day. I understand that they may not open until July due to restrictions but watch for openings and dates.Most also include fully stocked Pro Shops
