Oliver’s Nest Golf Club in Oakwood is a Lynx-style layout designed by renowned Canadian architect Graham Cooke. The course plays to a par 72 and stretches to about 6,600 yards, weaving through open meadows, natural ponds, and wooded corridors that define Cooke’s signature style. Wide fairways give way to challenging approaches into well-guarded greens. The bunkering is bold but fair, and the greens feature subtle undulation that keeps you on your toes. The mix of short and long holes ensures you’ll use every club in the bag. What really distinguishes Oliver’s Nest is the setting—quiet, rural, and peaceful. It’s a course that feels remote but remains easily accessible from Lindsay and surrounding towns. The conditioning is strong throughout the season, and the staff take genuine pride in presentation. There’s also a full driving range, short-game area, and comfortable clubhouse offering food, drink, and friendly service. For those who love strategic golf in a natural setting, Oliver’s Nest deserves a spot on the list.
