The entrance is in the U.S., but most of the club's golf course and its clubhouse are in Canada. Members and their guests, as long as they remain on the club's property, are not required to clear Canadian customs. Canada has the Four Falls Border Crossing nearby to seasonally allow leaving the golf course for Canada.
