FireRock Golf Club is located on the outskirts of London, and is with out doubt one of Southwestern Ontario's best public golf course's.
At FireRock sweeping fields of environmentally protected Savannah grasses create a spacious natural feeling, and Thomas McBroom's ragged bunker design truly defines its essence. McBroom went back in time to a classical style bunker with a rough, hewn look creating and appearance as though the bunkers were built by horse and scraper - the old fashion way. A trendy urban-designed clubhouse has been a favourite of weddings, charities and corporate functions. It is highlighted by a casual dining room, a relaxing bar area, a banquet hall for up to 220 guests and a sophisticated pro shop.
"We felt that London and Southwestern Ontario deserve a world-class golf experience that is open to the public", said Walt Spivak, co-owner of FireRock with his father Nick Spivak.
