Rebel Creek Golf Club is one of the premier public facilities in the Waterloo Region. Designed by Graham Cooke and opened in 2002, it’s a full championship course that merges creative architecture with top-tier conditioning.
The par-72 layout stretches over 6,900 yards, with each hole framed by natural wetlands, creeks, and forest. The front nine features open, linksy fairways that encourage bold drives, while the back nine tightens into woodland corridors where accuracy and patience take over. The greens are expansive, quick, and full of subtle breaks that challenge even skilled putters.
Rebel Creek’s clubhouse is among the best in the region—modern, spacious, and complete with a high-quality restaurant and patio overlooking the 18th hole. The practice facility includes a driving range, short-game area, and putting green, allowing for a full day’s immersion in the game.
Rebel Creek consistently ranks among Ontario’s best public golf experiences because it hits all the marks—design quality, conditioning, and service. Every hole feels deliberate, and the property itself feels refined without being exclusive.
