Located near the shores of Lake Erie, Pine Valley Golf Club in Vittoria offers 27 holes of lush, parkland-style golf surrounded by Norfolk County countryside. Each of the three nines—Red, Blue, and Gold—brings a slightly different character, allowing players to mix and match for varied 18-hole combinations.

Pine Valley’s practice facilities include a full driving range and putting green, and the clubhouse offers a full-service restaurant and banquet area ideal for tournaments and events. The staff are known for their friendly approach and steady course upkeep, ensuring a reliable playing experience from spring through fall.
It’s the kind of course that welcomes everyone—from casual duffers to competitive players—and gives them 27 holes of genuine value.
