Nestled in the Blue Mountains, the Golf Club at Lora Bay offers a playable round of golf that pays tribute to historic rural Ontario.  The dramatic course design was dictated by the dynamic forested shoreline of the brilliant Georgian Bay.

“We are thrilled to host the PGA Assistants’ Championship of Canada presented by Callaway Golf,” said Lora Bay’s head golf professional Nate Clingersmith. “There’s nothing quite like the Blue Mountains and Lora Bay in the fall.”

Co-designed by the former No. 1-ranked golfer in the world Tom Lehman and famed architect Thomas McBroom, the golf course has received numerous accolades over the year, including:

  • Top 5 New Courses in Canada (SCOREGolf, 2007)
  • Top 10 New Courses in the World (Travel & Golf Magazine, 2006)
  • Top 59 Canadian Public Courses (SCOREGolf, 2015)

Celebrating its’ 10th anniversary, Lora Bay has hosted a number of impressive events over the years, including the 2007 World Skins Game and the Web.Com’s Wayne Gretzky Classic from 2008-2010.

There will also be a 36-hole Inter-Zone competition compiled of four players on each team representing their respective PGA Zone and is contested over the first two rounds.
Admittance to the PGA Assistants’ Championship of Canada is free and spectators are encouraged to attend during championship play.
