Courses

Frequently Asked Questions

Given there are only two courses, is Cornwall worth a dedicated golf trip?

Honestly, for a dedicated golf trip, Cornwall's two courses won't fill more than a day or two of play. We recommend it more as an excellent stopover if you're driving through Eastern Ontario, or as a relaxed add-on to a longer golf itinerary. You'll find both courses offer solid, enjoyable rounds, but the region isn't a multi-day golf destination on its own.

What's the best time of year to play golf in Cornwall, Ontario?

You'll find the absolute best conditions from late May through September. The weather is typically warm and sunny, and the courses are in peak shape, offering lush fairways and true greens. Early spring can be a bit wet, and by October, the chill starts to creep in, making those shoulder seasons less predictable for comfortable play.

Are the golf courses in Cornwall beginner-friendly, or are they more challenging?

We've found Cornwall's courses strike a nice balance, generally leaning towards accessible play rather than overly punishing. While the Cornwall Golf and Country Club offers a more traditional, tree-lined challenge, Summerheights Links provides a more open, forgiving layout that's great for all skill levels. You won't feel overwhelmed here, making it a good spot for a relaxed round.

What can I expect regarding green fees and overall value for golf in Cornwall?

You'll be pleasantly surprised by the value here; green fees are quite reasonable, especially compared to larger city centers in Ontario. Expect to pay anywhere from $40-$70 CAD for a round, depending on the course and time of day. It's a fantastic spot for a budget-friendly golf experience without sacrificing course quality.

Beyond golf, what else is there to do in Cornwall for a short trip?

Since you'll likely only spend a day or two on the links, we highly recommend exploring the waterfront trail along the St. Lawrence River - it's perfect for a walk or bike ride. You could also visit the Cornwall Community Museum for a dose of local history, or check out the various local eateries downtown for a taste of the region. It's a charming small city with enough to keep you entertained for a short visit.
