Golf North Takes Over Operation of Arkona Fairways Golf Club

GolfNorth Properties, Canada’s largest consolidator of public golf courses, has entered into an agreement to purchase Arkona Fairways Golf Club. The 18-hole (par 68) facility has been a local favourite since it opened in 1988, and is well known for its tree lined fairways, true greens, and overall great conditions. It’s located in Arkona, Ontario (Lambton County), and just a short drive from many other GolfNorth properties.

Arkona Fairways will become part of the GolfNorth multi-course membership program, giving Arkona Fairways members access to 16 other Ontario courses.

Doug Breen, (Regional Vice President & Chief Agronomist at GolfNorth) had this to say, “We’re thrilled to add Arkona Fairways to the GolfNorth family. Not only does the location make a lot of sense with our existing courses, but it’s a really fun place to spend the day.  Don’t let the par and yardage fool you—this is a real challenge for low handicaps, while still being fun for those of us who need a few more swings to get around.”

GolfNorth Properties is a golf and resort management company, based in Kitchener-Waterloo Ontario. Founded in 1994, the company has expanded steadily, and is a national leader in the consolidation and management of golf properties. With the addition of Arkona Fairways, GolfNorth now operates 37 golf properties in Canada, from British Columbia to Nova Scotia.
