If one great course wasn’t enough, Mill River Resort recently acquired Eagles Glenn, an 18-hole championship course spread over 300 acres in Cavendish and designed by legendary golf course architect Graham Cooke. The Ambassador of Golf for both courses is Lorie Kane, a Canadian Golf Hall of Famer and four-time winner on the LPGA Tour. In recognition of her contributions to Canadian sport, Lorie received the Order of Canada in 2006 and in 2020 was inducted into Canada’s Sports Hall of Fame. She serves as the consultant on all things golf, from course playability, golf operations and events, as well as instructional opportunities at the resort. “I remember playing on the Mill River course as a junior golfer,” says Lorie. “Since Don and Marion MacDougall took ownership, I’ve grown to love Mill River in every season.

I see myself as a just another member of the great Mill River team.” Lorie is a firm supporter of women in golf. “My dad Jack often said, ‘Leave it better than you found it.’ I’ve seen how much sport gives back to those who participate. The women who blazed a trail before me showed me a career in sport was possible. I want to leave the sport of women’s golf better than I found it.” She champions causes like KidSport and helps with local girls’ golf
