Lowville Golf Club

It’s impossible not to appreciate the setting of Lowville GC. Its north Burlington topography rolls like a boiling ocean beneath the brow of Mount Nemo and the Niagara Escarpment, the latter designated a World Biosphere Reserve by UNESCO in 1999—one of just 12 in Canada. Originally laid out in 1973, the course was completely revamped in 1998 by architect Dick Kirkpatrick. Hopefully you’re adept at playing off sloping fairways—and in good physical condition if you plan to walk. And as picturesque as it is in summer, the tree-lined escarpment helps this place light up like a wildfire come autumn.
