Discover What to Do at Friday Harbour Resort
From marina adventures and waterfront dining to golf, trails, and seasonal events on Lake Simcoe.
At The Nest Golf Club, the experience begins with an 18-hole championship course designed by Doug Carrick, where rolling fairways frame Lake Simcoe and every round feels both relaxed and quietly exhilarating.
In spring, summer, and fall, guests walk lush greens with lake breezes at their backs.
In winter, the game doesn’t pause, it simply moves indoors. The Nest’s state-of-the-art golf simulator lets you refine your swing, play world-renowned courses, or enjoy a friendly match après-ski style.
Whether you're planning a couples’ golf getaway, a friends’ weekend, or a family escape, Friday Harbour offers a year-round golf experience and StunningStayz places you just moments from the first tee (and the warmest place to unwind after).
Because at Friday Harbour, golf isn’t just a round, it’s part of the rhythm of the resort, in every season.
