About
the Name
It is well documented that the area, including the Settlers’
Ghost Golf Club site on Horseshoe Valley Road, was an important
Huron Indian settlement prior to Champlain's arrival in Simcoe County.
The Huron Indians are, therefore, considered to be the first settlers
on this site. The second group was the immigrants from the British Isles
whose descendents continue to inhabit the area. The golf club is the
third settler to the property. “Ghost” refers to the first
two groups of inhabitants who may be gone from this land but are not
forgotten. The golf course has been built and will be maintained to
reflect the history of this property and the surrounding area. For example,
the bunker sand has been chosen for both its playability, and for its
reddish – brown colour that blends so well with the agricultural
background of Settlers’ Ghost Golf Club.
Mission
Statement
