Now without any further ado, here is the 2022 Top Canadian Golf Courses, #100-91.
100-91 OF SCOREGOLF‘S TOP 100 CANADIAN COURSES
100. Beaconsfield Golf Club – Private
Maintaining its spot as the Top 100 bubble course, Stanley Thompson’s charming Beaconsfield in Point Claire, Quebec, favours accuracy over power and possesses some of the best par 3s in the land, including the 15th, which plays to a 30-foot rock wall.
99. Dundas Valley Golf and Curling Club – Private
Cracking the Top 100 for the first time, Dundas Valley was designed by Stanley Thompson and fits beautifully into the Niagara Escarpment. Its property boasts a lot of movement from tee to green, and its putting surfaces are some of the purest and trickiest around.
98. Credit Valley Golf and Country Club – Private
Stanley Thompson and Robbie Robinson combined on number 98 Credit Valley, which is played largely in a valley alongside, and occasionally over, the Credit River. Creative shot-making and escapes are possible with trees thinned out between fairways.
97. Le Mâitre – Private
Mont Tremblant’s Le Mâitre features wide fairways, large greens and several wetland areas that must be navigated. The Fred Couples, Graham Cooke and Darrell Huxham collaborated on this design alongside the Devil’s River.
96. Kananaskis Country Golf Course – Mt. Lorette – Public
The reconstructed Mt. Lorette course at Kananaskis Country drops 16 spots from 2020, but the stunner at the base of the Rocky Mountains remains on the list. The course is eminently playable and very enjoyable.
95. Taboo Golf Course – Public
Number 95 Taboo is a visually spectacular Ron Garl design that’s undergone recent upgrades that continue to make it one of the best resort courses in the country. It is filled with great holes featuring the granite outcroppings that define Muskoka golf.
94. Cataraqui Golf and Country Club – Private
With its beautiful bunkering, subtle-sloping greens and fantastic par 3s, Cataraqui, in south Kingston near Lake Ontario, is easily recognized as a Stanley Thompson creation. It checks in at number 94 this time around.
93. Magna Golf Club – Private
The 2019 CP Women’s Open host is big on the wow factor and is one of the most immaculate playgrounds in Canadian golf. Magna is a solid test that presents roomy options off the tee but tough approaches into multi-tiered greens.
92. Bayview Golf and Country Club – Private
Returning to the Top 100 at number 92 after a recent renovation, the Robbie Robinson-designed Bayview is a terrific city course and one of the rare tracks that opens with back-to-back par 5s.
91. Glen Abbey Golf Club – Public
Hanging tough at number 91, Glen Abbey’s star doesn’t shine as bright as it once did, but the Jack Nicklaus course remains an enjoyable play with an excellent back nine highlighted by its stretch of wonderful valley holes.
Glen abbey most neglected course in past few years many temporary greens and poor course conditions nothing but negative from friends who paid large to be greatly disappointed
I was a “Member” based there for the first decade after Clublink opened it up to attract people to join then-under-construction Glencairn, and I grew to love Glen Abbey. I played it close to 1,000 times. Of course, so much was about the other “members” at least as much as the course itself. That said, the bunkers were as poor as any other courses I’ve played – we recall the fiasco of the cheap bunker fix that required them to re-do the re-do. A similar situation with the greens. The super was great and his team worked hard to improve things, but some combination of too much play, local ground conditions and management’s tight fist – it was bought as a real estate development play – have brought the Abbey stumbling to its knees.
Obviously you haven’t played there this year.
Course is in fantastic shape!
Get real I know many avid golfers who have been ripped off for full green fees in the last two years with poor conditions and the buildings neglected. Obviously the owners hoped to build homes many other courses should be elevated and Glenn Abbey does not deserve the top 200 any more let alone top 100 in Canada. Course must be playable for full green fees or greatly discounted when less than acceptable. It was a great course when the Ontario PGA now it could not host a junior event, very sad.
That’s what happens when a great RCGA course becomes a for porofit business. Price goes.up and costs (maintenance)go down. It should have been expected.
You know, there are beautiful golf courses not in Quebec or Ontario!!!!
Green hills Golf and Country Club, Saskatchewan????
How did Cataraquiget on this when more than 1/2 of their greens were damaged due to improper tarp removal this spring? Don’t understand how a course even gets a consideration when so many “temporary” greens are in play.
