OUR CLUB

Jim Rennie
PGA of Canada
Director of Golf

Jim grew up on the 18th hole at South Muskoka in Bracebridge and began playing golf at the age of five. By age 12, he was working at the course, collecting range balls every day during the summer months. 

As a teenager, Jim worked in the Pro Shop, played as much golf as possible. At 19, he earned his professional status and began his career in golf. 

After nine years at South Muskoka, where he developed experience in every aspect of the golf industry, Jim moved to the Collingwood area in 1993. He spent seven years as an Associate Professional at The Mad River Golf Club. 

In 2000, Jim became Head Golf Professional at Cranberry Golf Resort. After three seasons, he accepted the Head Professional position at The Batteaux Creek Golf Club, where he remained for nine years. 

In the fall of 2012, Jim returned to his roots and became General Manager and Head Golf Professional at North Granite Ridge. After two seasons there, he became the Teaching Professional at Muskoka Highlands before accepting his position at Windermere Golf and Country Club in 2017. 

Jim is a graduate of Georgian College, where he received a Marketing/Advertising Diploma and was a member of the golf team. He has also enjoyed an accomplished playing career, winning multiple events as both an amateur and a professional. 

As a 35-year member of the PGA of Canada, Jim continues to bring strong enthusiasm for both playing and teaching the game, working with golfers of all levels.

Mike Campol
General Manager

Mike brings extensive experience in management, strategic planning, and capacity building within complex business operations to Windermere Golf & Country Club.

Prior to joining Windermere, Mike spent 13 years in British Columbia’s South Okanagan Valley with his wife, Rebecca, and their two children, Jacob and Emily. During that time, he played a meaningful role in supporting the growth of the region’s hospitality and tourism sector.

His work included projects and contracts with Area 27 Motorsport Park, Spirit Ridge Resort, Nk’Mip Canyon Desert Golf Course, Kokanee Springs Golf Course, and economic development initiatives with First Nations communities.

Mike also has extensive experience working with nonprofit organizations. He and Rebecca founded the children’s charity Spirit of the Game Society, which helps ensure that children from all socioeconomic backgrounds can participate in organized sport. In addition, Mike has served on several community and industry boards, including Osoyoos Credit Union, Destination Osoyoos, the South Okanagan Chamber of Commerce, Highway to Healing Charity, NK’Mip Resort Association, Osoyoos Airport Development Society, and the Desert Live Music Festival Executive Committee.

In the spring of 2024, Mike and Rebecca returned to Ontario to be closer to family. After more than a decade living in a rural resort community, Muskoka offered a familiar and welcoming setting, shaped by Mike’s fond memories of visiting cottage country during the summers while growing up.

Living in Port Carling and working on behalf of the Members at Windermere Golf & Country Club is the perfect fit.
