Pine Crest Golf Club is a family-owned, 18-hole course located just south of Peterborough. It has long been recognized for its peaceful setting, friendly service, and well-maintained playing surfaces. The par 71 layout stretches over gently rolling terrain, mixing wide-open fairways with a few tight driving holes framed by mature trees.
The greens are smooth and fast, known locally for being some of the most consistent in the region. Water hazards appear on a handful of holes, including the picturesque par-3 17th, which demands a precise shot over a pond to a narrow target.
Pine Crest’s clubhouse includes a restaurant with full bar service and a patio overlooking the course. It’s also a popular venue for tournaments, weddings, and charity events, thanks to its blend of scenery and accessibility.
This is golf without pretension—affordable, welcoming, and rooted in community tradition. Every round feels like a casual walk with friends, and the quality of the conditioning keeps golfers returning season after season.
