James Playfair, a local businessman, built the nine hole Midland Golf and Country Club in the year 1919.  Membership at the Club was only possible by a personal invitation from Mr. Playfair as he was the chief financier and owner.  In 1923 the Club was purchased by the membership and governed by a Board of Directors with James Playfair as Chairman of the Board.  Mr. Playfair died in 1937 and the Board immediately decided to welcome new applications to the Club dependent upon an endorsement by two active members.  In 1967 an additional nine holes were built to compliment the original nine.  In recent years the Club has enjoyed a renaissance thriving on continuous improvements both aesthetically and financially.  The Club has witnessed a growth from approximately 250 members in the early 1990's to over 500 active equity shareholders presently.

Midland Golf and Country Club was originally designed be Nicol Thompson, the older brother of famous Canadian golf course architect Stanley Thompson.  Doug Carrick, a student of Thompson, who designed golf courses, was hired in the early nineties to begin a long range plan for capital improvements to the golf course.  Doug Carrick's direction was to enforce the classic feel and design of a golf course built in 1919.  Mr. Carrick has exceeded everyone's expectations.
