60-51 OF SCOREGOLF‘S TOP 100 CANADIAN COURSES
60. The Algonquin – Public
Few courses have undergone as extensive an overhaul as The Algonquin in St. Andrew-by-the-Sea, New Brunswick. Originally designed long ago by Donald Ross, and renovated by Thomas McBroom in 2000, it was overhauled again in recent years by Rod Whitman. Its four-hole stretch from 10 to 13 is among the best in Canada.
59. Tower Ranch Golf Club – Public
Tower Ranch is a Thomas McBroom stunner located high above the city of Kelowna, British Columbia. Plunging hundreds of feet over its 18 holes, the public course is a total blast to play and one of McBroom’s most fun overall.
58. Windermere Golf and Country Club – Private
With the South Saskatchewan River winding through the property, Windermere offers a fantastic day of scenic and strategic golf. The par 3s and 5s at this Robbie Robinson-designed course are extremely strong.
57. The Ridge at Manitou – Public
When it comes to finishing holes, it doesn’t get much better than The Ridge at Manitou, where the closer is a par 5 playing towards Manitouwabing Lake. The rest of the holes at this Muskoka, Ontario, course are darn good, too.
56. TPC Toronto at Osprey Valley – Heathlands – Public
The Heathlands Course at TPC Toronto at Osprey Valley was the first on the property and Doug Carrick’s initial try at a links-style layout. He pulled it off brilliantly and the course continues to hold up as one of the strongest tests in Canada.
55. Ottawa Hunt and Golf Club – South, West – Private
This year’s CP Women’s Open host venue, Ottawa Hunt benefited greatly by a recent Michael Hurdzan renovation. The South and West nines have wonderful movement and flow to them, and the club’s staff deserves tremendous kudos for its cleanup efforts after massive storm damage in May.
54. TPC Toronto at Osprey Valley – North – Public
The second entry at TPC Toronto, the North Course at the 54-hole public facility is a parkland-style course with big greens that can lure golfers into a false sense of security given how undulating they are. This beautiful course offers room off the tee but keeps you on your toes with your putter.
53. The Georgian Bay Club – Private
Georgian Bay is a grand, beautiful and dramatic course overlooking the body of water for which it is named. Roomy fairways, large greens and drop-shot holes make it a super fun course to play.
52. Wolf Creek Golf Resort – Links – Public
Combining older and newer nines by Rod Whitman, the Links Course is the higher-ranked track at Wolf Creek in Ponoka, Alberta. Its wide fairways offer plenty of attack options to ideally located green complexes.
51. The Glencoe Golf and Country Club – Forest – Private
A tough tee-to-green examination, there is little wonder why the Forest Course at Glencoe is the home course of many top amateurs. An abundance of bunkering and raised, difficult putting surfaces, do a great job of protecting par here.
