The Stanley Thompson House

A bronze statue of Stanley Thompson overlooking the first tee at Highlands Links, with the course and Highlands beyond.

A Stay Rooted in Golf History

Built in the 1950s as the residence for The Keltic Resort’s original Property Maintenance Manager, this historic home has long been part of the Highlands Links story.

Reimagined in 2016 as The Stanley Thompson House, the property now honours the legendary architect whose “Mountains & Oceans” masterpiece remains one of Canada’s most celebrated golf experiences.

Just steps away, Stanley Thompson’s statue overlooks the first tee, a fitting tribute to the man whose vision shaped this remarkable landscape.

For golfers, few stays feel more connected to the game than this.
