McFarlan Rowlands - Norwich

McFarlan Rowlands Insurance Brokers is able to trace its roots back to 1896. Over the years, growth of our organization through acquisitions of local brokerages has given us a strong community identity. To service our broad client base, we maintain 14 offices across Southwestern Ontario. McFarlan Rowlands did not become one of the largest independent insurance brokerages in Canada by accident. We insist upon complete independence from the insurance companies we represent so that we can provide our clients with the best coverage at the most competitive prices. When necessary, we are able to leverage our size and years of experience to offer our clients features, prices, and benefits that are unavailable to other brokerages. In addition to our broad product portfolio, the team at McFarlan Rowlands excels at providing complete customer satisfaction. More than half of our clients have been referred to us by existing clients and that number continues to grow. Our corporate guidelines of client satisfaction, employee education and industry presence have proven themselves time and time again. Second only to our client referrals we pride ourselves in attracting and retaining the best employees in the business. Part of our ongoing commitment to our clients is ensuring that our staff is always on the leading edge of changes in the industry. Through prominent membership in national and provincial councils and through direct contact with Members of Parliament, McFarlan Rowlands has lobbied for industry and legislative changes that benefit our growing client base. ×

Otter Creek Golf Club - Otterville

The Otter Creek Golf Club is located in the rural farm community of Otterville, Ontario, a short 20 minute drive from Woodstock. Designed by renowned Canadian golf course architect Dick Kirkpatrick, Otter Creek opened its doors to the public on July 1, 2008. Encompassing 300 acres and carved through the wooded valleys of Otter, Cedar and Spittler Creeks, the golf course meanders cleverly over former farmer's fields and tobacco lands. Measuring just over 7,100 yards and featuring six sets of tees, Otter Creek was designed to challenge players of all skill levels. From the forward tees, minimal forced carries make the golf course extremely playable for those new to the game. Construction of our rustic 5,000-square-foot clubhouse and 1,500-square-foot patio was completed in 2010. Open to the public, both the clubhouse and patio offer stunning views of the 18th hole as it carves through the wooded creek valley. Otter Creek is the ideal venue for any tournament or corporate event. To book a tee time, call us at 519-879-9800. ×
