Cataraqui Golf and Country Club, Private golf course in Kingston, Canada
Cataraqui Golf and Country Club is an 18-hole private course set on rolling terrain near Lake Ontario, with bunkers and sloped greens throughout the layout. The property also includes practice facilities, a driving range, and instruction from golf professionals for members.
Founded in 1917, the club was completely redesigned in 1931 by Canadian architect Stanley Thompson. This transformation took the original six holes and expanded them into a full championship course layout.
The club takes its name from the nearby Cataraqui River, and members gather throughout the year for golf in warmer months and curling when cold weather arrives. The spaces reflect the traditions of an exclusive private club where visitors can sense the regular social patterns of its community.
The course is located halfway between Toronto and Montreal and can be reached by car via local roads. As a private club, access requires membership, so visitors should contact ahead to arrange any visit or guest arrangements.
The par-three hole called Plateau is known among golfers as one of the most demanding shots in the country, requiring exact placement. Visitors often find this particular hole memorable for how it tests precision and focus.
