Head Professional / Director Of Golf: The Lake Joseph Club

The Lake Joseph Club is hiring! 

When it opened in 1997, The Lake Joseph Club caused jaws to drop around the golfing world.

Architect Thomas McBroom utilized the granite crags, towering trees and heaving topography of the incomparable Muskoka region, north of Toronto with such success that the course was named the best new course in the country by Golf Digest.

A nine-hole Academy Course complements its big brother on the shore of picturesque and historic Lake Joseph.
