Whether you are a beginner or an accomplished golfer, the City of Toronto’s five municipal golf courses provide excellent opportunities to enjoy a day out on the links.
Tam O’Shanter Golf Course is located in the L’Amoreaux neighbourhood, in the northwest part of Scarborough. This course is rated moderately difficult, and is known for its variety of links holes and challenging water hazards. This 18-hole, par-72 course is 6,083 yards long. It is situated in a bucolic setting nestled along Highland Creek.
Dentonia Park Golf Course is located in East York, off Victoria Park Avenue. Dentonia was the site of the former Massey farm, which provided fresh milk and eggs to the citizens of Toronto in the early 1900s. This is an 18-hole, par-54 course and is 2,176 yards long. This club has a daily Hole-In-One contest where you can win a whole set of Calloway golf clubs. There are also daily prizes awarded for Closest to the Pin.
The Don Valley Golf Course is centrally located in North York, next to the Hogg’s Hollow and York Mills neighbourhoods. This course – opened in 1956 - is the oldest municipal golf course in Toronto. This moderately challenging 18-hole course is 6,109 yards long and is set amidst the scenic rolling landscape of the Don Valley. The highlight of this course is the par-5 13th hole, known as “Hallelujah Corner.”
Scarlett Woods Golf Course is located in Eglinton Flats, off Jane Street. It is named after John Scarlett, who was one of this area’s first settlers. This 18-hole par-62 course is 3,749 yards long. The signature 17th hole features an elevated tee that overlooks a pond 140 yards away from a well-bunkered green.
The Humber Valley Golf Course is located in north Etobicoke. This is a very scenic course set amidst the backdrop of the Humber River Valley. This is an 18-hole, par-70 course that plays 5,446 yards long with a nice combination of links and valley holes. The eighth hole is especially beautiful, with a brand new pond feature.
