Ironwood Golf Club in Exeter, Ontario

You have to want to get to the Ironwood Golf Club. From London, Ontario, it's a good 40-minute drive through vast, neat farmlands and small towns - and away from numerous more conveniently located golf courses - to get to Ironwood.

Once you get there, though, you'll be happy you came. Ironwood is a top-notch family-run operation, easy on the eyes and easy on the scorecard. Opened in the mid-'60s, this golf course has been expanded, tweaked and fiddled with for four decades, and it's not finished yet. This work-in-progress is an interesting little (6,179 yards from the tips) course that, along with fun golf, offers the astonishing sight of white squirrels.
