40-31 OF SCOREGOLF‘S TOP 100 CANADIAN COURSES
40. Port Carling Golf and Country Club – Private
Another course making a big rise up this year’s ranking, Port Carling in Ontario’s Muskoka region features large distinctive bunkers, rugged, rocky outcroppings and accessible greens. Designed by Thomas McBroom, it comes in at number 40.
39. Redtail Golf Club –Private
The exclusive Redtail near St. Thomas, Ontario, which some days may see only a few groups on its fairways, mixes a wooded front nine with and a more open, linksy back side. Englishman Donald Steele is responsible for this highly regarded design.
38. Mad River Golf Club – Private
Mad River continues to climb up the Top 100 and this year ranks 38th. The late Bob Cupp designed this course on magnificent property south of Collingwood, Ontario. Mad River is demanding in spots but Cupp offers golfers room off the tee to attack its greens.
37. The Links at Crowbush Cove – Public
This Thomas McBroom design is well-regarded as Prince Edward Island’s finest course, with its seaside setting on the Island’s north shore yielding rolling fairways, pot bunkers and multi-tiered greens. The Links at Crowbush Cove climbs three spots to number 37.
36. Rocky Crest – Resort
Thomas McBroom has enjoyed a prolific career designing golf courses at home and abroad, but Rocky Crest is the course that really put him on the map. By blasting through rock to create holes there, McBroom ushered in a new style of golf in Ontario’s Muskokas.
35. Royal Montreal Golf Club – Blue – Private
After sliding down the Top 100 in recent years, the Blue Course at Royal Montreal rebounds to check in at number 35. An original Dick Wilson design renovated by Rees Jones ahead of the 2007 Presidents Cup, the Blue demands precision into its multi-tiered greens.
34. Kananaskis Country Golf Course – Mt. Kidd – Public
After a forced closure due to Alberta’s historic flood, the Mount Kitt course at Kananaskis Country returned to the Top 100 in 2020 with a bang, coming in at 19. It slides to number 34 this year, but it remains an exhilarating experience amid the wonderous Rockies.
33. Bigwin Island Golf Club – Private
Few days of golf can rival that of a game at Bigwin Island, which is accessible only by ferry. The Doug Carrick course is both easy on the eyes and the scorecard, as its wide fairways and big greens keep your ball in play all day.
32. Predator Ridge Resort – Ridge – Public
The Ridge Course at Predator Ridge is pretty personified. Doug Carrick crafted this place through a wooded hillside with exposed rock outcroppings, tall pines and the waters of Lake Okanagan providing a wonderful backdrop.
31. Weston Golf and Country Club – Private
It’s hard to find much wrong with Toronto’s Weston, a Willie Park, Jr., design that features an excellent mix of holes with great variety in yardage, direction, elevation and difficulty. Weston was the site of Arnold Palmer’s first PGA Tour victory in 1955.
