Built on Jack Nicklaus' legendary tradition of designing prestigious and spectacular courses - Northern Bear is the latest addition to the Nicklaus family of outstanding golf courses.

Northern Bear is only Jack's third Canadian Signature daily fee course, preceded by Toronto's Glen Abbey and Whistler's Nicklaus North. The "Bear" is a perfect blend of tree lined fairways, strategic bunker placements, five lakes and USGA standard greens all designed to offer the ultimate in playability to every golf enthusiast.

Despite his stature as a player - Nicklaus designs his courses for players of all skill levels. "Golf is a game of precision not strength" explains Nicklaus. That's why the course offers five sets of tees ranging from 5,800 to 7,400 yards and is designed to entice novices and experts alike.

In its inaugural season Northern Bear was pleased to host the Ronald McDonald Charities, Wayne Gretzky and Friends Tournament featuring Mike Weir and Wayne Gretzky - who along with Jack Nicklaus are honorary members of Northern Bear.. The event drew national television exposure and as a result, Northern Bear will inevitably become a recognized fixture in the Canadian golfing and tournament community.
