Renowned
for its incredible fishing and family vacation destinations,
Blue Sky Region boasts outstanding golf opportunities as well.
With the rugged and dramatically contoured Canadian Shield
as a palate and expansive tracts of Ontario wilderness as
backdrops, many golf course designers have created their very
best layouts in Blue Sky Region - the area immediately surrounding
fabled Lake Nipissing on the historic voyageur fur trade canoe
route. With scenic and well-conditioned 9-hole, par-3 / executive
and 18-hole championship venues, Blue Sky Region offers a
variety of great family vacation destinations.
Here's a valuable tip - golf in Blue Sky Region is relatively
inexpensive - usually less than $ 35. pwer round - even at
the top-rated courses ! Most "stay
& play" golf packages (overnight accommodations and golf)
are considerably less than $ 100. per day, with some as little
as $ 60. per day.Enjoy
the luxury, personal service and amenities of the Pinewood
Park Inn - a Clarion Resort - which boasts its own 18-hole,
executive-length golf course, pro shop, driving range, snack
bar & beverage lounge, and daily instructional program with
head pro, Dan Garagan, a CPGA Golf Professional. Tee off at
sunrise, midday or after dinner - the first tee is just a
chip shot away from your room ! For the family, there's a
heated outdoor pool and shopping is just minutes away in the
City of North Bay. |
| When vacationing,
travelling and / or taking care of business in Blue Sky Region,
the Clarion Pinewood Park Inn Resort & Conference Centre is
centrally located and ideally suited to host families, small
and large groups, business conferences, even conventions. You
may be familiar with the old adage that warns, "All work

here because the Clarion Pinewood Park Inn Resort & Conference
Centre offers the best of both worlds - a place to work and
