Scenic City Golf Course lives up to its name. Overlooking the rolling countryside and Georgian Bay beyond, this 18-hole course offers one of the most picturesque rounds in Grey County.
The par-71 layout stretches over 6,000 yards and combines open, links-style holes with forested stretches that require shot control. The elevation changes are frequent and dramatic, making club selection vital. The par-3 8th, which plays from an elevated tee to a green framed by mature trees, is a standout.
Greens are quick and firm, while fairways are kept in excellent shape throughout the season. Scenic City’s reputation for friendly service, fair pricing, and walkable design make it a local favorite.
The small clubhouse and patio provide great post-round views, and the relaxed vibe makes it ideal for both league play and casual weekend rounds.
The first lesson in Golf Course Architecture 101 is that land should dictate design. So it’s no surprise that hall-of-famer Hale Irwin, one of the few players in history to win three U.S. Opens and a prodigious student of the game, would follow that rule to a “tee” at Coyote Crossing in West Lafayette, IN. The award-winning layout fits the property like a well-worn glove.
