Tom McBroom & the Design
Tom McBroom is one of Canada’s most acclaimed golf course architects, known for creating visually stunning and strategically compelling courses that harmonize with the natural landscape. With over 50 courses across Canada and internationally, McBroom’s signature style blends bold design elements with playability for all skill levels.
Wildfire Golf Club, nestled along the scenic shores of Stoney Lake in Ontario’s Kawartha cottage country, is one of McBroom’s premier creations. Opened in 2003, the course is a masterclass in routing, using the rugged Canadian Shield terrain, mature forests, and exposed granite outcroppings to create a layout that is both challenging and breathtaking. Wide fairways, dramatic elevation changes, and pristine greens make Wildfire not just a course to play—but one to remember.
McBroom’s design at Wildfire perfectly captures the essence of cottage-country golf, earning praise for its beauty, strategy, and seamless integration with the natural surroundings. It remains a standout example of his commitment to excellence in golf course architecture.
