Toronto Golfer's Not So Ultimate List.

See All Lists
This is pretty much the list of places you'll find me during the weekends. Whether it's the driving range or a round of golf, bring your clubs and your swing. Note: I'm a mid-high handicapper and am just not as picky as serious low handicappers. As a weekend duffer, as long as the conditions aren't horrible, or the course is not so poorly designed (i.e. having balls land near you at the tee box) I'm okay with it. Be FORE warned, it's an addictive sport.

 1. Beach Fairway Golf Range

411 Victoria Park Ave
Toronto, ON M4E 3T3

It's one of two Golf Driving ranges in Toronto, and is a bit more affordable and has a bit better set up than Polson Pier (the only other range).

Even though this place is packed every afternoon and weekend whenever the sun is out, the city is looking…More »

Guess there aren't many golfers on Yelp.  

I'll always have a soft spot for Tam O'Shanter as this was the very first place I ever tried to hit a golf ball.  As a teen and not knowing anything about golf, we TTC'd here and rented some clubs, bought…More »

Cons: Probably the most expensive public driving range in Toronto that's not indoors, especially on the weekends.  However you can reduce that by buying 2 tokens for $20 for an average sized bucket.  Because its automated, you can also use these on…More »

Flemingdon PGC is my home course as I can practically see it from my building.  It's a very picturesque 9 hole course located in the don-valley in the heart of East York.

For me it's a great get away from the city located pratically right at my…More »

This affordable supper hilly city owned par 3 pitch'n putt course is located right outside the Victoria Park subway station.  

For seasoned golfers, it is a good opportunity to work on the short game and some putting (the worst part of my game).  The…More »

If you're a golf fanatic that lives east of the 400 in February, you'll most likely be here.  There used to be another bubble down at the waterfront (Sherbourne and Queens Quay) but I think that's gone which leaves this the only bubble I know of in…More »

I think this will become my future home for a driving range.  It's a bit out of the city, but it provides everything you'd want from a range.  

A large bucket costs $13 and you can hit off either matts or a grass area.  The grassy area was as hard as…More »

Fore stars!

Completed the South course on a glorious sunny perfect Weekend afternoon.  The course was in good shape, and the course provides several scenic holes.  Not as nice as the North, but it's a bit cheaper.  The clubhouse facilities are…More »

Part of the Bruce Golf reward program out east of the GTA.  I hit the Lakeridge Links, and it was a very picturesque course, but not sure if it was worth the $100 on the weekend.

It's a decent course that requires you to use a variety of clubs and…More »

Nice facilities.  It gets bonus points for providing balls on the practice green for you, and having a practice bunker which isn't readily available in many places.  I must have spent an hour after my round just in the bunker as I never get to…More »

PGC is a farmer's field course, located next to the auction house barn off Brock Rd.  The city has recently sold off the back 9 of this course and it's now a 9 hole course, part of the east GTA Bruce's Golf Reward program.

It's $25 including a cart…More »

It's a perfect pitch and putt for beginner golfers and kids or those working on their short game.  The average golfer can work the course with a 9 iron as your longest club.  I think every time I've been here I've seen at least one family out on the…More »

The course was recently acquired by Bruce Golf and is now part of their rewards system.  The facility is a bit tired and run down and it ain't the prettiest course around, but it's definitely the best value in the GTA.

The greens were in horrible…More »

It's probably the nicest public course in the GTA.  It's also one of the more challenging ones because as their tag line promotes "water water everywhere".  This may have been the course that sent me into my first golf retirement 4 years ago.  After…More »

This is one of the best Exec courses (Par 3s and 4s) in the GTA.  It's a very fun course that's not overly challenging, but enough to make it interesting for an avid golfer.  

It's also easily the best value you're going to find.  For a little over…More »

Chinese BBQ (6)

Places to get your roasted pork, chicken, duck, some char-sui marinated pork, and if you're lucky a bunch of other items like bung (?!?!) fried smelt/ talapia or tofu.

I seriously couldn't go more than a month without some Chinese BBQ.  It practically cost me a relationship when someone wanted to turn vegan after seeing a whole roasted pig hung up.  You know who I chose to stick by.. yes the piggy.
