If you’re serious about Golf, then the South Georgian Bay Region is a destination to consider for your next fairway bound vacation. Use Blue Mountain and Monterra golf as your home base, while you take in courses around the area. Throw in some local tours of wineries, cider houses and breweries in between rounds and the result is a getaway worthy of sacrificing your handicap.

Day 2: The Monterra Mounds

Two people golfing on a lush, green course with rolling hills, near a row of modern houses at the base of a forested mountain.
Monterra is a traditional links course of immaculate rolling bent grass fairways with loads of dramatic elevated tees accompanied by several tight tree lined fairways for a parkland setting. A Thomas McBroom championship design, with tee decks ranging from 6581 to 5139 yards, razorback mounding, 86 sand bunkers, 7 lakes and ponds, and numerous ravines and creeks, Monterra is a thinkers course.

Pick up a hot dog and a tall boy at Leaderboard right next to the pro shop in the Clubhouse or order on the course directly from your cart to pick up at Sanctuary after the 4th, 9th, and 14th holes.
PRO TIP
A strong breeze is common on this course so play accordingly. The 301-yard 5th (a par four) is the number one handicapped hole with an elevated tee, a tight approach with water in play short right and forest to the left. However, the 10th, "Stagefright", is the real signature. The 134-yard par three starts from an elevated tee deck over a yawning chasm onto a long thin green, surrounded by pot bunkers, and slanting downhill and sideways.

The Best Brunch

The Pottery Alpine Restaurant, located at the Blue Mountain Inn, hosts a delicious brunch with locally sourced ingredients, a Ceasar and mimosa menu, and special selection of alpine favourites. While you can get a great Farmer's Breakfast or Eggs Benedicts, we recommend the Schnitzel and Waffles or Tyrolean Skillet loaded with prime rib, eggs, and fried potato hash. Not only is The Pottery and excellent brunch, returning for a dinner visit is equally delicious.

Day 3: Thornbury's Best Bunkers

Option 1
PRO TIP
At the 5th hole, avoid the large fairway bunker on the left for a chance to make birdie. On the 14th (328 yards), be wary of the three sand traps for the same opportunity.
