Science Hill Country Club

Science Hill spreads across the hilly farm country just outside St. Marys in Perth County, where mature trees, ponds and the natural roll of the land do most of the defending. Built in 1976, the layout measures 5,791 yards from the back tees to a par of 70, so it favours placement and a sharp short game over raw distance. Elevation changes give you plenty of uneven lies and half-blind looks, and the tighter par 3s and 4s on the front side set the tone early. The landmark red barn clubhouse anchors the property, with a covered patio and a halfway house at the ninth to keep the round moving. It is a friendly, walkable club that suits every handicap without ever feeling easy.
