Lead Associate / Assistant Golf Professional: Forest Golf Club & Inn
Nestled in the heart of Lambton Shores, Forest Golf Club & Inn is a hidden gem for golf enthusiasts with a long history dating back to 1926. Forest Golf Club & Inn has undergone many changes over the years beginning as a challenging 9-hole course, expanding to 18-holes in the early 80’s with further expansion following to it’s current 27-hole layout. In 2015 GolfNorth Properties purchased the property and has since improved the facility. Major renovations to the 75-room hotel, dining room and banquet facilities have upgraded the interior design with comfortable accents making it a popular destination for resort guests, members, and corporate events.
On-site Forest boasts a 75-room hotel, 27-hole golf course, 18-hole disc golf course, fully stocked pro shop, pool, whirlpool, sauna, intimate dining facility and events hall. Known as the home of the “Unlimited Golf Package” Forest is an easy drive from Toronto, Kitchener, Waterloo, London, and Sarnia Ontario. Just a short drive away Forest also enjoys reciprocal partnerships with three other GolfNorth properties and is only 15-minutes away from the beautiful clean beaches of Lake Huron.
