I went golfing with my buddies last weekend and went to a course in Ontario. As soon as I saw the clubhouse with a huge A-frame roof and lava rock wall, I knew I was onto something and began searching for tikis.

I started talking to a bartender there and she told me it used to be the Royal Tahitian (BOT pg 251). She had been working there since the 60's and told me where everyting used to be. The main floor was dining and the basement was the bar. In the front of the building on a large grass aera was the Tahitian Village where the shows were. The golf course, which was called Ontario National, was seperate from the Royal Tahitian and after it closed they made it the club house.

And sad news, the bartender told me they were planning on tearring it down in a few months and building a new club house closer to the street.

These tikis were located in the back, in an enclosed area which I could not sneek or talk my way in to.

Back of the building. A small performance area.

In the parking lot, I was able to see an apartment building which may house tikis. There were no tikis except what was in front.
