The River Course

What to expect...

Humber Valley Resort’s 18-Hole, par 72 championship River Course measures 7,199 yards and affords dramatic views over the Humber Valley, including Deer Lake and the Humber River. The course was designed by distinguished Canadian Golf architect Doug Carrick, who is known for creating courses of great character and beauty, The River Course is no exception. Its layout, with gently rolling terrain, generous fairways and undulating greens, gives experienced golfers a welcome challenge yet also provides an enjoyable round for novices. Several holes are played alongside the tranquil Humber River or the shores of Deer Lake and a number of natural ponds and streams meander through the course. Breath taking views can be enjoyed from most holes culminating in the 18th where the backdrop rises to 400 feet in elevation up to the Eagle’s Perch, housing golf reception, changing facilities, lounge and banquet room where the spectacular scenery can be enjoyed after your round.

River Course Architect

DOUG CARRICK B.L.A., O.A.L.A., A.S.G.C.A.

Since establishing his Toronto firm, Carrick Design, in 1985, Doug’s courses have won an array of awards from the golfing media and hosted some of Canada’s top professional tournaments. A member of the prestigious American Society of Golf Course Architects, Doug never builds two similar courses. From his early work in the traditional Scottish links style at Osprey Valley Heathlands through to the grandeur of Magna Golf Club and the classic look of Bigwin Island, Doug consistently considers new ways of making the game of golf challenging for players of all abilities. Currently, Carrick Design is launching a new brand identity captured by the tagline ‘Soul of the Green’, following a very exciting year in 2007. In addition to opening its first golf course design in Scotland, The Carrick at Cameron House, three of its most recent golf course designs, including *The River Course at Humber Valley, received an unprecedented seven design awards plus three additional second or third place honourable mentions, all from some of the most well-regarded golf publications:
