Golf at Cataraqui

Situated in Kingston near the vast scenic beauty Lake Ontario, Cataraqui Golf & Country Club is one of the masterworks of Stanley Thompson, Canada’s greatest golf course designer.

Summing up golf at Cataraqui in just a few words doesn’t do it justice. Easily walkable and visually stunning, Cataraqui has been at the heart of golf in Kingston for over a century. As the only private golf course between the Greater Toronto Area and Ottawa, it stands proudly as the premier members’ course in the region.

Simply put, the golf experience at Cataraqui is always a pleasure. With a layout that challenges and rewards golfers of all skill levels, its renowned collection of par threes—often ranked among the best in Canada—offers a test you’ll never tire of trying to master.

“If Toronto’s celebrated St. Georges Thompson’s version of the Sistine Chapel, then Cataraqui is the Pieta in St. Peter’s Bascilica—not as well known but no less important an achievement.”

—Robert Thompson, Ontario Golf Magazine

Architect

Stanley Thompson

When Thompson arrived in Kingston in 1931 at Cataraqui, he took a handful of holes already in the ground (dating back to 1917) and turned the course into a masterpiece. A golf course genius, Thompson’s work includes Capilano in Vancouver, Banff and Jasper in Alberta, St. George’s in Toronto, and Highlands Links in Nova Scotia. Most historical accounts suggest the majority of the work Thompson undertook at Cataraqui was on the back nine, which has several of the best holes in Canada, including the incredible and dramatic par-three 15th.
