NORTH BAY GOLF & COUNTRY CLUB
This year, we are entering our 100th year as the North Bay
Golf and Country Club. Established in 1921, our members
should be very proud to belong to one of the oldest clubs in
Northern Ontario.
The North Bay Golf Club is a private club owned by
shareholders and governed by an elected Board of Directors.
In 1921, a group of golf enthusiasts formed the NBG&CC
and had engaged Stanley Thompson the renowned
Canadian designer to layout the new course on what was
once farm land originally owned by the Macintosh family.
Prior to Thompson's involvement, it was said these
enthusiasts, despite no formal golf course had “hit the ball”
along this pastureland for many years prior to 1921.
Designed by Stanley Thompson, one of the classic figures of
North American golf course, Thompson had a flair for
features on a massive scale. He was not averse to sculpting
the earth along vast dimensions in search of generous
playing areas and diverse angles of approach. Consistent
with his designs of boldly shaped layouts and breathtaking
courses the North Bay Golf and Country Club was designed
using many of the land’s natural terrain.
Once formally established as a private club, the next step was
to form the body of directors to oversee the operation. The
first president of the NBG&CC was Senator George Gordon
and the first club professional hired was George Smail.
The original nine holes spanned 2800 yards and were ready
for play in 1923. The second nine did not open until 1966.
With seasonal renovations, and a strong commitment from
members giving of their labour, resources and donations the
course has evolved into one of the finest eighteen hole
challenges in the North.
For the golfer, water comes into play on at least 13 of the 18
holes and first time players often comment on the
individuality presented by each hole the 6300 plus yard, par
72 layout. The play demands well placed shots instead of
the long ball.

GOLF ETIQUETTE
In all private golf clubs there are a number of rules of
etiquette and procedures which should be observed by
each member for the benefit of the membership as a
whole. Listed below are a few of the important rules
each member should be aware of and adhere to.
Damage to Green or Tee Deck – If a green or tee deck
is damaged by a member/guest it must be reported to
the proshop immediately. Subsequent discipline will be
administered by the PGA of Canada Professional. If (an)
individual(s) does (do) not report the incident and he/she
is found guilty of this damage, an immediate suspension
will be given (length to be determined).
Repair Ball Marks on Greens – A properly repaired
ball mark will heal in three days. If not properly repaired
within one half-hour, it will take approximately five
weeks to heal. There is only one way to properly
repair a ball mark. First, that little ball divot that may
be taken out of a green when a ball lands, if replaced
will not grow; throw it away. Second, when making a
repair, lift any turned down grass up, then work from
outside the pitch mark in towards the centre. Do not
dig up the centre, this will leave a patch of mud or
bare earth. If in doubt of the repair method, ask your
Golf or Greens staff for a demonstration.
Replace All Divots Taken Out of the Turf – Divots not
replaced exactly as taken, and not pressed into place,
will leave damage to the turf. Take care to replace the
divot so that it fits the divot hole properly.
Golf Shoe Marks on the Greens – Do not drag or pivot
your feet on the greens; this tears and damages the turf.
1565418 NBGCC Calendar Guts 2021 Proof 5 21-03-17 8:35 AM Page 16 After putting out, any noticeable marks should be tapped down with your putter head, especially near the cup. Flag Sticks – When removing or replacing a flagstick, take care not to damage the turf. Place the flagstick either on the green, green apron or off the green. Rake Sand Traps – All holes in traps should be raked smooth. This not only includes foot prints, but also the mark made from the ball entering the trap and the mark made by the club head when hitting the ball from the trap. Rakes should be left inside traps. Power Carts – must not be driven within 25 feet of greens and tees and should remain on paths or roadways as much as possible; in all cases avoid roped off areas, soft spots, seeded areas, ditches. This includes medical exemptions. Avoid fast starts and obey cart directional signs. The course Super- intendent and the Director of Golf determine when carts may be used without causing undue damage to the course. Pull Carts – under no circumstances are to be taken through bunkers, between bunkers and the putting surface, onto the tees or within 25 feet of the greens. Please be patient with our grounds Maintenance Personnel, particularly while they are cutting the greens. If the pin is out during cutting please wait until it is replaced to proceed. Hitting into our staff, as hitting into anyone is very dangerous. 16
