SENJAN was founded over 30 years ago by the late Dr. Bismillah as a private, peaceful escape that provided a challenging golf experience for the people of Wellington County. Dr. Bismillah was a former Chief of Staff and practiced medicine at Groves Memorial Hospital for 36 years. The club continues to thrive under the ownership of his daughter, Nisha and son in-law, Gary Linford.
It is an attractive, well-maintained, private 9 hole golf course with a friendly atmosphere. A hidden treasure situated in the countryside of Ennotville, yet easily accessible from Elora, Fergus and Guelph, it has grown into a par 35 course with a maximum yardage of 3001. Its four-tee box layout, challenges golfers of every skill level, whether a beginner playing off the red tee boxes or our single handicap players off our championship black tees.
The course takes the player through fairways lined by many mature trees, and includes water hazards as well as strategically placed bunkers. Hole #9 is SENJAN WOOD’S signature hole. A 507 yard par 5 requiring a challenging shot over the pond to a difficult green a few feet away from the veranda at the clubhouse. Members can bring their own food and beverage using the well-equipped clubhouse kitchen and BBQ areas. With no required food and beverage spend, the savings go toward the cost of membership or additional golf at other clubs.
This is an active club with several social opportunities to get together with other members. Check out the events calendar for more information on Men’s, Ladies’, Seniors’ and Social leagues.
Players are encouraged to walk but SENJAN does offer storage for those who need to use their own cart or for visitors that wish to rent a cart from the club. As a private club with a limit on our membership numbers there is no need for tee times or marshals. If it happens that #1 is busy then members are welcome to choose another hole to start from…………we try to make the experience as pleasant as possible.

Testimonials
What Our Members Are Saying!
"The social gatherings, potlucks, bbq's, fun tournaments, fill the course and clubhouse with fun and laughter. Thanks to everyone at Senjan, for making such a difference in my life and to Troy who continues to improve this beautiful, hidden gem!"
Lynn Schrader
"Having played many local courses in the region, it’s hard to beat the value of Senjan Woods. 9 holes of beautifully groomed turf, in a Muskoka-like setting. The no tee time required and relaxed atmosphere of four different socials, has a place for any golfer. It’s one of Wellington county’s best. "
Claude Jacobs
"I do so appreciate how much it has changed and evolved.....a new clubhouse, some new members in the mix, and the great course improvements."
Ruth Barden
"The advantage of being able to just show up and meet whoever of the group was available and get in 9 holes before noon is great without the need to have booked a tee time in advance. "
Cliff Chamberlain
"We have seen the course develop from an idea to a superb 9-hole course. Watching golfers come up the 9th hole while sitting on the veranda of our new clubhouse…….the experience is timeless. "
Andree & Bruce Simmons
"Jerry and I (Ria) have been members for 30+ years. Even with the hard work by Troy and staff to create the positive changes, the course was, and still is a place to play golf in a relaxed setting."
Gerald & Ria Fisher
"Two to three hours to play 18 holes. The course is in great condition and the people work hard to keep it up. Greens are true and fast enough for any amateur and it is extremely affordable."
Randy White
"Being a “newbie” and not a great golfer - Senjan was a perfect spot for me to start. Great friendships and welcoming people."
