Bridgewater Country Club is one of the finest and most challenging golf courses in the Niagara Region and Western New York. Designed and built by renowned Golf Course Architect Stanley Thompson in 1923, it was originally called the Erie Downs Golf and Country Club.
​
It was in the late 1970s when the name changed to Bridgewater Country Club. Erie Downs was home to the 1933 Ontario Open, which was won by Sam Snead and hosted the Ontario Open again in 1993
