Frequently Asked Questions
Is on-site golf required for a stay & play experience in Ontario?

How many nights should I plan for a stay & play base in Ontario?
Three to five nights is ideal to enjoy multiple rounds and resort amenities without frequent hotel changes.
Should I book a golf package or arrange lodging and tee times separately?

When does moving between hotels during a golf trip make sense?
Moving hotels makes sense if you want to explore different regions or courses far apart, though it adds travel time.
