ABOUT THE IRON
This project is in development to become one of the premier 18-hole tournament-caliber golf courses located in Sudbury, Ontario, the hub of Northern Ontario. Currently under active construction, the course is being built entirely in house, providing direct involvement in shaping, infrastructure installation, irrigation, drainage, and turf establishment. The focus is on precision construction and sound agronomic practices that will support long-term performance sustainability.
Designed to championship standards, the course emphasizes strategic play-ability, elite conditioning and resilient systems capable of hosting competitive events. As the project transitions from construction to grow-in and opening, the long-term vision is to establish a flagship Northern Ontario facility with the ability to host high-level provincial, national and international tournaments while delivering a consistent, world-class playing experience for all golfers.
