Our History

Since 1998
Summer 1997
The Course Is Almost Ready
Founding partners, Frank and Ivan Gray, Merlen Kropf, Rob Staffen, and Ted Courtnage hired David and Bob Moote to design the course with Jim Farrelly to manage the club.
August 1998
All 18 Holes Open. 14 of Them Offer Views of Guelph Lake
After losing their zoning temporarily, the Gray brothers won an appeal with the Ontario Municipal Board. When asked, “Why golf?” Gray said that the land looked to be more suited to that than anything else.
Spring 2001
Interest in Golf Explodes
It was April 2001 when Tiger Woods became the first golfer to win all 4 majors in a row. And that accomplishment sparked the game to grow like never before.
June 2007

Loyal golfers and preferred players are invited to a BBQ lunch and 18-hole tournament to celebrate the 10th anniversary of Guelph Lakes Golf & Country Club opening.
