Thornhill Golf & Country Club

Toronto, Ontario

 
Thornhill Golf & Country Club was designed by Stanley Thompson in 1922 and has been the host of the PGA Canadian Open. It's filled with strategic bunkers, subtly breaking greens and elevated tees. It's the kind of course that will make you reach for every club in your bag and make you a better golfer for it. In short it's perfect.
