Bay of Quinte has long been a Belleville staple - a classic parkland course with tournament pedigree and a loyal local base. What's exciting right now is growth: the club is expanding to 36 holes, adding a new North Course alongside the original South Course. That means more variety, more tee time availability, and two distinct personalities to choose from when your group can't agree on a vibe.
The historic South Course carries the charm you'd expect: mature trees, walkable transitions, and a par-72 flow that rewards smart positioning. The coming North Course introduces fresh lines and fresh decisions, giving regulars a whole new canvas to explore. Whether you're here for a quick morning spin or a full day of 36, the routing options make it easy to build your own adventure.
Bay of Quinte's differentiator has always been feel - welcoming but polished, the kind of place where it's easy to be a 'regular' even if you only visit a few times a year. The property's championship history gives it a little extra swagger, and renovations over the years have kept conditioning sharp.
If you're planning a golf weekend in the Bay of Quinte region, pencil this in. With two 18s in play, it's a choose-your-own-golf-story situation - and that's a very good problem to have.

Suddenly, the swing you’ve rehearsed thousands of times on the driving range […]
