Weather concerns
This is a rain or shine event.
Thunderstorms and Lightning Strikes
The Mississippi Golf Club does not have or utilize any safety systems to detect or predict inclement weather. Golfers play at their own risk and are therefore responsible for determining when they should get off the golf course if thunderstorms are in the area.
The following information has been provided by the Meteorological Service of Canada.
The Canadian Lightning Detection Network (CLDN) was installed about 20 years ago. Before CLDN, it was believed that lightning strikes tended to be grouped or organized and that the next cloud-to-ground strike was expected to be quite close to the previous one.
Since the CLDN became operational, they’ve learned differently. Lightning can strike more than 16 kilometers away from a storm. That includes ahead of or behind a lightning storm, so even if it’s not raining you can be struck.
Not sheltering under a tree is paramount. Go to a safe location: either a building with plumbing and wiring or an all-metal vehicle.
Our rain shelters offer NO protection against lightning.
We recommend that you follow the excellent advice from the National Lightning Safety Institute: “If you can see it (lightning), flee it; if you can hear it (thunder), clear it.”
While you are glancing at the radar imagery on your cell phone, remember that the weather doesn’t have to be upon you before it could become a serious hazard.

About the Club
Mississippi Golf Club is an 18-hole, semi-private golf course located on 190 acres overlooking the picturesque Mississippi River. Established in 1915 on the former Patterson Farm in Appleton, just five kilometres east of Carleton Place, Mississippi Golf Club is one of the oldest clubs in Ontario.
Mississippi began as a nine-hole course, with a second nine – designed by the renowned golf course architect Graham Cooke – added in 1987. A new Pro Shop was constructed in 1992 to serve a growing membership. The original stone club house was destroyed by fire in the fall of 1997, and replaced with a modern new building that opened the following spring.
Mississippi is an enjoyable course to walk, friendly to novice golfers while at the same time presenting a surprising challenge to experienced players. We welcome green fee guests and invite you to experience our outstanding course and clubhouse facilities.
