Lakeview Golf Course
Played On 07/13/2014Adjusted for greens
Every course in Southwest Toronto had its greens decimated in the winter of 2013/14, so hard to single one out for just this yr. Normally Lakeview's greens vastly exceed what one would expect for the green fee charged.
Good, classic course that can still sting you if you let your guard down despite only 6300yds. Some are put off by gimmicky 12th hole, but it is fair, and I suspect people don't like it because it can de-rail a tired golfer's round. 16th & 18th holes are among my favourites in the Toronto area.
Lambton Golf and Country Club - Championship Course

Beautiful classic design, updated in 2009. Great chipping area. Nice clubhouse. Holes 14 through 16 are top notch, as is the extended 7th hole. Some don't like the drainage ditch, but it's the price you pay for being in such a stunning river valley. Only critique would be that the course peaks at the stunning 16th hole, rather than 18th.
Beacon Hall Golf Club

One of the nicest courses in Greater Toronto. You can feel it as soon as you enter the grounds. Pristine bunkers, elevation changes, tactical water hazards.
Excellent practice facility. Great clubhouse area overlooking 1st & 2nd holes. Strong smell of pine reminds you how remote this course is.
Front nine might be the nicest in Canada, and was enhanced when the 6th hole was converted from a short dogleg into a drivable par 4. Clearly Beacon is positioning itself for a Canadian Open. Back nine has less trees, and thus adopts a links feel, but some crafty fescue and bunkering makes it very interesting. Also a little easier to let fly with your driver.
Top holes: 4th & 18th are stellar.
