Whitewater Golf Club

What Whitewater Golf Club does

Whitewater Golf Club operates a single 18-hole championship golf facility on a 550-acre site in Rosslyn, Ontario, just outside Thunder Bay. The course combines two Thomas McBroom-designed layouts (Forest and River) into 18 holes with five tee options spanning 4,565 to 7,293 yards at par-72, and is positioned in source material as Northwestern Ontario's premier golf facility. Beyond golf, the site hosts a 20-acre practice academy, a full-service restaurant and bar, and event venues (a 200-capacity pavilion, a 150/200-capacity banquet hall, and an outdoor ceremony site) used for weddings, corporate events, and golf tournaments.

The business operates seven distinct revenue streams — daily green fees, annual memberships, restaurant F&B, weddings and corporate events, pro shop and gift certificates, PGA-led golf instruction, and a residential real estate partnership (King George's Park Estates) — with the real estate arm developed jointly with Di Gregorio Developments across a planned 500-home, decade-long master community that will also include a resort hotel. Distribution blends direct on-site bookings, a Tee-On online tee-time platform, regional social channels (Facebook, Instagram, including a junior academy sub-brand), media coverage (Canadian Golf Traveller, Northern Ontario Business), and a Bruno's Contracting retail partnership for gift certificate sales.

Ownership is private with 11–50 employees and no disclosed institutional investors or parent entity; management is led by General Manager Lorencio Di Gregorio (with administrative counterpart Cindy Di Gregorio), Director of Golf Matthew Simmons, Executive Chef Bob Mathieson, and Teaching Professional Dustin Wilson. No founding date, ownership structure, or financial metrics are publicly disclosed, and there are no signs of venture, growth, or strategic-capital activity — the company appears to fund operations and capital projects internally in coordination with its real estate partner.
