Meet Our Team
Our Golf Director
Matt Bacon
Matt brings an exceptional blend of business insight, operational expertise, and a passion for the game. A Class ‘A’ PGA of Canada Professional, his career spans leadership roles in premier golf operations, underpinned by a strong foundation in analytics and supply chain management within the commodities sector.
​
His golf journey began at the age of five, when his grandfather first put a club in his hands. Growing up in Halifax, Nova Scotia, he competed throughout his teenage years, developing a game marked by PGA Tour–level distance off the tee and a sharp short game. Notable achievements include back-to-back wins at the Clublink Merchandisers Championship in 2022 and 2023, and a recent victory at the 2024 Innisbrook Shootout.
​
At Muskoka Bay Resort, he oversees Golf Operations with a focus on delivering world-class service and enriching the overall member experience. He’s also a passionate instructor, holding multiple teaching designations from The Titleist Performance Institute (TPI), US Kids Golf, Trackman, and K-Motion. His teaching philosophy is centered around simplifying the game for his students.
​
Dedicated to growing the game and making it more accessible, he currently serves as the PGA of Ontario Chapter Chair for the Muskoka Region.
Associate Golf Professional
Daniel Turner
Daniel is a dedicated PGA of Canada Golf Professional with an inspiring and unconventional path into the game. A lifelong athlete, he initially made his mark in competitive soccer, playing at a semi-professional level and earning a scholarship offer to Indiana Tech. Choosing to follow a new passion, he stepped away from the sport and turned his focus to golf.
​
Since picking up a club in 2020, he has made remarkable progress—moving from a 15 handicap to sub-zero in just three years. His talent, discipline, and enthusiasm for the game led to earning his PGA of Canada Professional card, and he now serves as an Associate Professional at the prestigious Muskoka Bay Resort.
​
His golf achievements include multiple amateur tournament wins, competing in professional qualifiers such as the RBC Canadian Open, and scoring two hole-in-ones on the Muskoka Bay course. Known for his powerful drives and steady play, he brings a competitive spirit and deep knowledge to every lesson.
​
As a coach, his passion lies in helping players of all skill levels reach their goals. Whether introducing someone to the game or helping refine a seasoned golfer’s technique, his approachable style, technical know-how, and genuine love for golf make him a trusted instructor. His greatest reward is watching his students gain confidence and develop a true love for the sport.
​
Currently working toward his Class A status with the PGA of Canada, he continues to evolve as both a coach and a player. Always eager to share his experience and play a round, he welcomes every opportunity to help others enjoy the game to its fullest.

Remington Fielding
Remington is a passionate and accomplished 30-year-old PGA of Canada golf professional with a lifelong love for the game. Having picked up his first club at age 12, he now brings over a decade of experience in the golf industry and is currently in his fourth year as a certified professional.
​
He has developed his craft at notable courses including Taboo Muskoka and Muskoka Sands, establishing deep roots within the local golf community. His talent on the course speaks for itself—highlighted by a championship win at the 2022 TaylorMade Invitational and multiple victories on both the Pepsi Junior Tour and Bags Junior Tour.
​
Beyond his personal achievements, he finds fulfillment in teaching the game, managing daily operations, and supporting the continued growth of golf. His approachable style and genuine enthusiasm make him a valuable mentor to players of all skill levels.
​
Off the course, he enjoys a variety of sports including hockey and baseball—and once even achieved a hole-in-one on a par-4. With a tournament career low round of 63, he exemplifies excellence and sportsmanship both on and off the green.
​
With his energy, experience, and commitment to the game, Remington continues to make a strong impact in the golf world and inspire those around him!
