The Bridges of Tillsonburg

Representing more than eighty years of tradition, the Tillsonburg Golf & Country Club is distinguished by its beautiful setting, challenging layout and traditional clubhouse. A nine-hole semi-private golf club established in 1925 located on John Pound Road in south Tillsonburg awaits members and guests looking for enjoyable, relaxing breaks from today’s busy schedules.

Founded by a group of 9 local businessmen, shares were initially sold for one hundred dollars. The group purchased farmland from the MacDonald family, and a retired druggist named Houghton designed the original layout of holes. The farmhouse was used as the clubhouse with the catering being provided by the membership (namely the ladies section of the club). A few years after it’s founding, the original clubhouse was destroyed in a fire and a portion of today’s clubhouse was erected. Members participated regularly in working bees to do whatever it took to improve the facility. Everything from brush clean up, rock picking or clubhouse improvement was undertaken by the membership.

Over the years many changes have occurred but the philosophy of our founding members has not changed: A club where members can congregate for camaraderie, fellowship and relaxation. Members are still greatly involved in all aspects of the club management. Activities are still designed with the forethought of member enjoyment and participation.
