Kingswell Glen Golf Club combines history and innovation in one of southwestern Ontario’s most scenic settings. Originally established as the Petrolia Golf & Country Club, it was redesigned into an 18-hole championship course that now stretches over 6,700 yards.
The layout winds through mature forest and open meadowland, using elevation and water to create visual drama. Wide fairways invite confident swings, but positioning is key to setting up good angles into quick, contoured greens. The finishing holes are among the strongest in the region, rewarding bold play but punishing anything less than precision.
