The club is located just outside Cambridge in the Cambridge area, the fairways of Whistle Bear Golf Club were put in place at the start of the millennium through John Robinson on a property which has had 18 previous owners. When it came time to name the holes there was just one option to the present owner.

It's hard to deny the ability of Whistle Bear to host championships on a layout that spans 7,562 yards starting from tip when the professional golfers tee it up. It was the Canadian PGA Championship was held at Whistle Bear twice in 2004, and 2005, which resulted in wins in the hands of Charles Warren from North Carolina and Oshawa-born Jon Mills. The event returned to Whistle Bear in the year 2019 with a match-play event which saw Albertan Jon Risdon overcoming Oliver Tubb from Vancouver 3-1 in the final game for the P.D. Ross Trophy.

Ponds are present on half of the holes on this heavily bunkered layout, therefore avoiding water as well as sand is crucial to score effectively when playing this layout. The most difficult holes are the 2 holes of the course (both that stretch more than 600 yards, with out of bounds on just to the right side of the fairway) at the 3rd hole and 16th holes, as well as the 8th hole, 172 yards long that is the longest of the par threes, and the only hole where water protects the green.
