Toronto Golfing
Many visitors to Toronto bring along their golf clubs to enjoy playing at the great golf courses in the Toronto area. There are hundreds of lovely greens to choose from and most lie within the Golden Triangle, (an area bounded by Oshawa, Hamilton and Barrie), an easy drive from downtown Toronto. Toronto golf courses may be tougher to book so you’ll want to call ahead for tee times. The GTA features a number of older, well-established golf courses, but many new, well-designed courses are in the communities surrounding Toronto.

The Bell Canadian Open is often held at Oakville’s Glen Abbey course, a short drive from downtown Toronto. This year’s tournament, however, will be held at the Angus Glen Golf Club, just north of Toronto in Markham. Thousands of golf fans flock to the Canadian Open each summer. It is considered one of the top golf tournaments in the world.
The City of Toronto owns and operates 5 public golf courses: Dentonia, Don Valley, Humber Valley, Scarlett and Tam o’Shanter. These executive level courses are heaps of fun for the casual golfer. Serious golfers will want to book tee times on the many private courses available.
Popular courses for visitors to Toronto are: The Toronto Hunt Club in Scarborough, the Don Valley Golf Club, Bayview Country Club, Cedar Brae Golf & Country Club, Humber Valley Golf Club, Islington Golf Club, Oakdale Golf & Country Club, Scarboro Golf & Country Club, and the Weston Golf & Country Club.
