The Golf Academy
Carved out of ten acres of forest, The Manitou Golf Academy is a lush, green, naturally contoured fairway. Whether playing from our natural grass or all weather covered tees you'll feel you are on the most challenging course – plenty of quintessential Muskoka hazards – granite outcroppings, trees, sand – real course conditions – the best way to improve and challenge your game. The same on course feel has been given to the short game with separate putting, pitching and sand play areas – we make the “feel” shots easy to master.

Golf Style Article
The heart of the Manitou Golf Academy is the indoor Learning Centre and covered all weather tee boxes. A state-of-the-art video teaching room opens directly onto the Academy fairway allowing full shots, even woods, out to the target greens with video analysis….rain or shine.

View Our Golf Packages

We've designed two specialized packages to suit any golfer's needs, no matter what level.

Package 1: Golf Academy and Learning Centre
Package 2: Play and Stay

Combining the Golf Academy with real “on course” play is the ultimate learning experience. The Inn at Manitou is delighted to offer two different options

Ace Package

Ridge at Manitou* – just Next Door
*Named Best New Course 2005 by Ontario Golf & Fairways Magazine and Best New Canadian Course in 2006

A spectacular, private, 7,027 yard championship golf course designed by Tom McBroom. The course meanders through rolling Pre-Cambrian Shield country that changes effortlessly from high rocky ridges to lowland areas of valleys and tributaries.

McBroom said: “The Ridge at Manitou is an adventure where each hole affords a unique encounter with nature. Holes twist and turn through the forest. The rock that accents many holes reminds us that golf at its best is an experience in which you are integrated into the landscape.”

Included in Every Golf Package:

  • Your choice of accommodations category
  • Welcome fruit basket and chilled split of sparkling wine on ice in your room upon arrival
  • Daily wake up morning coffee of tea and sliced oranges delivered to your room
