Enjoy an afternoon on the green with a round of golf for two people including cart rental.
Before golf was invented, fathers tried to bond with their children by taking strolls through the countryside, but often grew weary due to the high concentration of awkward silences in the air. Instead, get together with dear old dad with the help of today's WagJag: $89 for a round of golf for two people including cart rental and walking same day replay at Settlers' Ghost Golf Club (a $170 value).
Highlights of the Course
Settlers' Ghost was designed by John Robinson on more than 6,300 yards of farmland that used to be home to the Huron First Nations, who were the first settlers to set foot on the greens. The 18-hole, links-style course is now an award-winning golf haven that still reflects the spirit of its ancestors.
Tips for Success on the Greens
When golfers reach hole 8 – the course's signature par 5 spanning 539 yards – they'll have to hit a straight drive between massive pine trees on one side and bunkers on the other to hit the green in two shots.
Course Comforts
A fine dining restaurant, full practice facilities and a well-stocked pro shop cater to every golfer's needs. Golfers in need of improvement can sign up for a lesson from one the club's CPGA pros, one of which is director of golf Mary-Pat Qulity, two-time champion of the Ontario PGA Tour. Your voucher also comes with a cart rental so you can save your energy for putting.
To Please the Golfer's Palate
The Restaurant at Settlers' Ghost serves hand-made ravioli, stuffed with braised veal shank and roasted Roma tomatoes. If this doesn't tempt your taste buds, there's the pan-seared mahi-mahi, served on a bed of lo mein noodles with julienned vegetables in a mango tomato salsa. Check out the other delectable dishes on the menu.
