Welcome to Bill Mattick’s Restaurant
Welcome to Bill Mattick’s Restaurant, the place named after a historical figure who didn’t just plant daffodils, he dominated the 1940s flower export scene so thoroughly that Hollywood stars were photographed striking poses among blooms just to make Eastern Canada weep with jealousy. If you’re a golfer who enjoys food, breathless legends, and the lingering aura of former talking birds, you’re in the right clubhouse.
Pull up a chair inside, on the patio, or at the snack kiosk that stands alert like a sentry by the 10th tee, ready to serve you something that isn’t a golf ball. Be sure to wave at Bill Mattick’s ghost as you enter — it’s tradition.
The Backstory (Too Wild for a Golf Digest Cover)
Local lore has it that Bill Mattick once ran a farm that was half botanical amusement park, half B-movie wildlife sanctuary. Patrons claimed the myna bird might’ve recited Shakespeare if given enough peanuts, and goats allegedly judged visitors’ golf swings.
Before this land was meticulously manicured for golf nerds, it was the site of heroic export missions involving daffodils, tulips, and the kind of brochures that made Easterners reconsider their life choices.
Where vegetables aren’t just veggies — they’re characters in an ongoing horticultural soap opera.
Bill Mattick’s culinary lab borrows fruits and greens from the course’s gardens, flirts with weekly specials that change personality more often than a golf handicap, and generally whispers “fresh” at anyone who’ll listen.
Expect the unexpected — three-course dinners that date their ingredients by eyeballing the gardens, tempting you like a mysterious character in a novel you didn’t quite want to read
