Ainsdale hosts open house; course to open Wednesday

Ainsdale Golf Course was a busy spot, Friday evening and Saturday, as people gathered for the annual open house to purchase their 2023 membership, shop new retail and merchandise and check out the many Golf Shop sales and packages.

The 18-hole golf course, owned and operated by Charles and Taylor Candler, is located just off Highway 21, south of Kincardine.

The course will be open for play, Wednesday, April 12, to Saturday, April 15, from 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., walking only – no power carts are permitted at this time.

The Candlers said that the maintenance crew has been working hard to get as much cleaned up as possible and prepare the course for opening.

“We’re not anticipating that everything will be done, but we wanted to open during this beautiful stretch of weather we’re supposed to have from Wednesday through Saturday,” they said. “Please know we will be out there working during the days we’re open to continue getting things ready for the season, so we do ask that you be mindful of our staff.”

The restaurant and bar will not be open; however, drinks and snacks will be available through the Golf Shop, and washrooms will be available.

On-line booking is now available via Chronogolf and can be accessed through the website, at ainsdalegolfcourse.com.

Beyond Saturday, the course will be open for the remainder of April based on weather, and the Candlers will do their best to communicate regularly with everyone, via E-mail, social media and the note section of the tee sheet.

League play begins in May.

During the open house, all those who purchased 2023 memberships had their names entered in a draw for a new Paradym Driver – and the winner was Keegan Newsham!
