Ontario
Ontario’s golfing landscape is as vast as the province itself, offering a blend of historic private enclaves and accessible public gems that consistently rank among the finest in the country.
The architectural pedigree here is unmatched. Headlined by the enduring legacies of Harry Colt, Charles Hugh Alison, Willie Park Jr, Stanley Thompson, and Donald Ross, and bolstered by the modern work of Canadians Thomas McBroom, Doug Carrick, and Ian Andrew.
For many, the Ontario bucket list centres on the "Golden Age" cathedrals of the sport - Toronto Golf Club, St. George’s, and Hamilton. However, the contemporary era has contributed equally formidable challenges. The rugged beauty of Muskoka Bay Club, the firm nature of the sculpted Tarandowah, and the expansive layouts at TPC Toronto or The Paintbrush ensure that the modern game is well-represented too.
While exclusive private golf courses often lead the conversation, Ontario’s public offerings provide exceptional depth across all architectural styles and budgets:
The Classics: Publicly accessible treasures like Lakeview and Kawartha allow everyday golfers to experience historic designs when a spot is available.
The High-End: Modern powerhouses like Eagles Nest and Rocky Crest Resort offer a premium experience without the membership fees.
Whether you are navigating the bustling Greater Toronto Area, escaping to a cottage in the Muskoka’s, or trekking the 401 corridor toward Ottawa or Windsor, Ontario’s fairways offer a tailored experience for every traveler.
