Club History
The Brockville Country Club was founded in 1913, the first President being John A. MacKenzie. The club house was located on the shores of the St. Lawrence River - its nine hole golf course had two holes on the south side of the King's Highway and seven holes on the north side. The club house was destroyed by fire in late November 1937, rebuilt for the following season, and occupied thereafter until October 1976.

Curling has been enjoyed in Brockville since 1905, and played in various locations until 1948. That year, the Brockville Curling Club was founded, with club house facilities and four sheets of ice located on Garden Street. Edwin C. Cossitt was its first President. These premises were vacated in the spring of 1976.

The Brockville Country Club was constituted by Provincial Charter on January 30, 1976, following the amalgamation of the two parent clubs. D. Bruce Ker was President of a Parent Board during amalgamation, and the first President of the newly formed club. The official opening was celebrated on November 27, 1976. The Club provided six sheets of curling ice and an eighteen hole golf course - seven holes of the original course were retained and eleven new holes were constructed. The Club House offers excellent facilities on two levels, with its main dining room and lounge on the upper floor, and a lower lounge for eating in a more casual atmosphere - both dining areas overlook the golf course. In addition, an attractive small dining room is a convenience for private parties.


The Club is a semi-private facility that offers memberships but is also open to the public for golf, curling and social functions. In all aspects of its operation, the club is used by many community based groups. During the summer months, the curling rink becomes The Granite Room and has been made available for annual Boat, Antique, Wildfowlers, and Car shows, as well as for receptions, such as the Palliative Care Golf Tournament where numbers cannot be accommodated in the main Club House. During the winter, the golf course provides excellent cross-country skiing. The Brockville Country Club has also been host to a number of provincial events including the 2007 Junior Provincial Curling Championships and the 2007 Senior Winter Games. The club will again be a host site during the Senior Winter Games in 2009 and each year the Curling kicks off by hosting the Shorty Jenkins Classic, a curling event that draws curling's elite mens and ladies from across Canada and Internationally to the Brockville Country Club.

We are proud of our Club's comfortable and friendly atmosphere, fine golf course and curling facility, and extend a warm welcome to prospective members and guests to the club from the local community and well beyond. Our club is a home away from home for many of our members and it has been the premiere social and recreational facility serving Brockville since 1913.
