ORIGINAL 8TH HOLE 1919, NOW THE 11TH HOLE

Midland Golf and Country Club James Playfair, a local businessman, built the nine hole Midland Golf and Country Club in the year 1919. Membership at the Club was only possible by personal invitation from Mr. Playfair as he was the chief financier and owner. In 1923 the Club was purchased by the membership and governed by a Board of Directors with James Playfair as Chairman of the Board. Mr. Playfair passed away in 1937 and the Board immediately decided to welcome new applicants to the Club dependent upon an endorsement by two active members. In 1967 an additional nine holes was introduced to compliment the original nine holes. In recent years the Club has enjoyed a renaissance thriving on continuous improvements both aesthetically and financially. The Club has witnessed a growth from approximately 250 members in the early 1990’s to nearly 520 active equity shareholders presently. Midland Golf and Country Club was originally designed by Nicol Thompson, the older brother of famous Canadian golf course architect Stanley Thompson. Doug Carrick, a student of Thompson designed golf courses, was hired in the early nineties to begin a long range plan for capital improvements to the golf course. Doug Carrick’s direction was to enforce the classic feel and design of a golf course built in 1919. Mr. Carrick has exceeded everyone’s expectations. Midland Golf and Country Club now boasts the only complete golf experience in the area. Eighteen holes of classic golf course architecture allows for an enjoyable challenge for both the casual and advanced golfers. A C.P.G.A. employed professional golf shop, state of the art turf care facility, an exceptional irrigation system, and intimate dining and banquet amenities are among the many attributes contributing to the complete golf experience.
