Belleville is Ontario’s big time up and coming golf destination, and with great reason.
Centre of this rising is Black Bear Ridge, one of the pre-eminent public golf courses in all of Canada. Opened in 2005, this track is hands-down the premier course in Eastern Ontario, and was recently ranked the #63 golf course in all of Ontario.
But the plays don’t start and stop there. Belleville has some exceptional tracks to tee it up on that will challenge you with their design, amaze you with their beauty, and will 100% impress you with their enjoyability factor.
Play one of the best courses in Canada

Pair this premier course (above) with these area must-pays
- Trillium Wood – designed by Steven Ward, an unheralded designer that hailed from the Belleville area, Trillium Wood is an exceptional play. Beautiful, stunning, challenging, creative, unique, Trillium Wood sets the bar
- Timber Ridge – considered the best kept secret in eastern Ontario, another Steven Ward design, Timber Ridge hits the mark. The course is continually celebrated in the Top 10 Best Value Courses in Canada, and was once ranked #95 course in Canada by SCOREGolf (2006), when it first opened. Recently, the courses underwent a bunker renovation project upgrading to all white sand, and the results are amazing
- Bay of Quinte – A collaboration of two Canadian greats, 30 years apart, with the original 9 designed by Howard Watson and the second 9 designed by CE Robinson. The result is a beautiful parkland track with great conditions, a truly enjoyable play steeped in history
