Welcome to Whitewater Golf Club, Northwestern Ontario's Premier Golf Facility (a Tom McBroom design) The last of the first 18 fairways was seeded last 2004.
Following in the spirit of adventure and the footsteps of the French-Canadian voyageurs, the native Ojibwa and Métis hunters and Scottish fur traders, who first put the area on the map in the early 1800s, Whitewater Golf Club is a testament to the resolve of those who first paddled the Kaministiquia River and those who have followed. Nestled between the soothing Kaministiquia River and the tranqui
l Rosslyn Oxbow Wetland, Canadian golf course architect Tom McBroom, a pioneer in his own right, has handcrafted a 27-hole championship layout that captures the incredible beauty of the majestic river valley. The 550-acre Whitewater property is a dramatic collage of topographical features rarely found on one site. The river valley creates dramatic plateaus, steep cliffs, ravines, and magnificent wetlands, creeks and ponds. The dense boreal forest and its mountain range backdrop revealed signature trees that have been artfully introduced into the design.
“The golf holes at Whitewater are manmade, but created with such naturalness to appear as though the holes just happened on their own,” McBroom says. “Whitewater is as natural as they come, that’s what the land called for. It’s not contrived in any way.” Course clearing started in September 2002. A third nine, The Sand Barren Course is planned for the future.. After opening late summer 2004 for limited member play, the semi-private facility opened for its first full season in 2005. The two all bent grass nine-hole designs that wander through towering poplar and Jack Pine groves are ready for play. Just even yards shy of 7,300-yards, the par-72 Forest and River Courses measure 5,584-yards from the forward tees, 6,265-yards from the White tees, 6,792 from the Blue tees and 7,293-yards from the tips or the Gold tees. 2011 Green fee rates will vary from $60 to $79 depending on time and day of week. For those considering membership the initiation fee is $8,500 (or $900 a year for 10 years) plus $2,740 in annual dues.
“This is a magical place where history, tradition, wilderness and natural beauty meld together perfectly so that every minute you spend on this land it feels like you were meant to be here,” says co-founder Silvio Di Gregorio. “You can stand on the banks of the Kaministiquia River, in the tranquility of the Northern Ontario backwoods and take a 200-year journey back in time to the days of the fur trade.” In the serene Kaministiquia River Valley, where eagles soar silently in the clear skies and wildlife from moose and deer to bear and lynx roam free, Whitewater is a tonic for the body and soul. Di Gregorio’s vision is to develop Whitewater GC at King George’s Park Estates a world-class golf facility and residential community in Northern Ontario that will draw both American tourists from nearby Minnesota and Wisconsin and avid golfers from across Canada. At the heart of the project is McBroom’s 27-hole masterpiece. Estate lots, town homes and luxury condominiums will be meticulously designed to exist in harmony with Whitewater’s precious natural setting and not intrude on the golf course. Lots are still available in this thriving community. Whitewater’s rough-wood and stone-faced clubhouse has been designed with imagination and detail to capture the essence and history of the fur trading days. Two 35-foot birch bark canoes hang overhead in a quaint setting that features a rustic looking bar and a small fine dining area featuring portraits of explorers, beaver pelts, paddles and other antiques from a by-gone era. An outside balcony offers stunning 180 degree vistas of the golf course and a majestic wetland in the river valley below with the endless back drop of the boreal forest. There’s also a larger conference room and pro shop on the main floor with member and guest locker rooms and an executive boardroom on the lower level. The Whitewater Golf Academy may well prove to be one of the premier teaching facilities in Canada. “This is by far the best setting I have ever had to develop a practice area,” McBroom says. Sunken in the midst of an immense pine forest the 20-acre golf academy is second to none. The academy features putting, chipping, sand and short game stations as well as a 400-yard range with double-ended bentgrass tee decks. Come and enjoy all of what Whitewater Golf Club has to offer.

WE’RE HIRING – PROFESSIONAL SERVICES
Whitewater Golf Club is looking for reliable, energetic individuals to join our Professional Services team for the remainder of the 2026 golf season.
Hours: Primarily weekdays, from opening until approximately 4:00 p.m. We will also consider applicants who are available only a few days each week.
Depending on experience, interest and availability, successful applicants may work in one or more of the following areas:
Backshop, Club Storage & Power Carts – assisting golfers, cleaning and storing clubs, preparing and organizing power carts and pull carts, and maintaining a clean, professional service area
Driving Range – range setup, ball collection and helping provide a great practice experience
Cart Battery Maintenance – regular battery checks, charging and basic maintenance
You do not need to work in every area. Someone may be hired specifically for Backshop duties, for example, without being responsible for cart battery maintenance.
These are active, outdoor positions that require being on your feet and, depending on the role, lifting golf bags and equipment.
Applicants must also have reliable transportation to and from Whitewater Golf Club, as there is no public bus service to the club.
We’re looking for people who are dependable, friendly, organized and take pride in doing things well.
Positions are seasonal through the end of the golf season, with the possibility of returning to the Whitewater team in 2027.

Respect the Course. Leave It Better.
One of the great traditions of golf is that every player shares responsibility for the golf course.
Whether you are a Whitewater member, a guest, or visiting for the first time, taking care of the course is part of the game. Membership dues and green fees provide the opportunity to play, but they do not replace the responsibility each golfer has to care for the course while doing so.
That means repairing your ball marks, replacing or filling divots, raking bunkers, properly disposing of garbage and respecting the turf, facilities and the work of our Grounds team.
No maintenance staff can be everywhere, and no golf course can remain at its best without the help of the people playing it.
Do your part. Respect the course, respect the golfers behind you, and leave Whitewater as good as, or better than, you found it.
That is not simply a Whitewater expectation. It is part of the spirit of the game.
