ABOUT US
Highview Golf Course; originally a 9-Hole facility, was first purchased by the Harrington Family back in 1986. Des and Betty (with their two children Sheila and Dean) thought a family operated golf facility was exactly what the area needed. The club originally called the Powassan Golf Course was renamed by the family to Highview Golf Course paying homage to the wonderful views, as seen from the elevated clubhouse.
Des always the entrepreneur, had the vision to expand and grow the business immediately so the idea to purchase and develop property adjacent to the golf course was completed. In 1992, an 18-Hole layout was opened. That same year, the family celebrated the wedding of Dean and Judith; with Judith joining the team immediately. Becoming an intricate part of the operation to this day!
Over the next seven years, continuous developments of the design and course layout were completed resulting in the current layout that is played and enjoyed today. The addition of a brand new clubhouse took place in the millennial year of 2000, with continued renovations until today.
From the beginning in 1986 with Des and Betty and the kids, to the present with Dean, Judith, and their children (Cole and Jaye), there have always been constants at Highview. You will always find a friendly atmosphere with great food and a good product. The family tradition of hard work guarantees the course is always in the best shape possible!
Welcome!
OUR GOLF COURSE
Highview Golf Course is conveniently located just 15 minutes south of North Bay on Highway 11 in the community of Powassan. Highview was built on and is a game preserve, and home to many different types of animals. Day to day encounters may include deer, rabbits, foxes, or maybe even a moose might be spotted. Each day you are sure to share part of the course with deer while they feed and watch you, the golfer, go by. We are an 18 hole semi-private/public golf course that welcomes Course Members as well as Green Fee Players with open arms!
Practice Facilities
- Two Multi-Cup Practice Greens
- Short Game Practice Area
HOW IT PLAYS
Measuring just over 5200 yards from the back tees, Highview is both a playable and a fun challenge for golfers of all levels. With wonderful rolling terrain this property was meant for golf and you will find both tight tee-lined fairways, some that include water, as well as open holes to bomb the driver on! Playing as a Par 70 (or Par 72 from the Red tees), the course has six Par 3's, eight Par 4's, and four Par 5's. The Par 4's provide the best opportunity to score with birdies available, while the Par 3's and 5's are a little more stingy and are more likely to humble any golfer looking to stick it close or go for the green in two!
(Highlights include the 5th Hole Dogleg as well as the 7th Hole "Island" Green)
